Groot Letaba River, The Groot Letaba headwater streams originate in the Drakensberg Escarpment, descending in long runs with an occasional riffle or pool. Mostly in the Limpopo, province South Africa. At the higher level the Broederstroom, Politsi River, Debengeni River, Letsitele River, and Thabina River, join the Groot Letaba. Lower down the Molototsi River (a seasonal stream), Nsama River, join before the Nsami Dam. The river starts of as the Groot Letaba River, than its tributery the Middle Letaba River, and just before the Kruger National Park, its tributery the Small Letaba River, flow into the river.
More than 20 major dams have been constructed in the Groot Letaba River catchment. The Tzaneen Dam on the Groot Letaba River and the Middel Letaba Dam are the two largest dams in the Lipopo Province. Other large dams in the catchment include the Ebenezer Dam, Magoebaskloof Dam, Nsami Dam and Modjadji Dam.
