The Steelpoort River or Tubatse (Afrikaans: Steelpoortrivier) is a river in Limpopo Province, South Africa. It flows northeastwards and is a right hand tributary of the Olifants River, joining it at the lower end of its basin. Its source is located at Kwaggaskop, a farm between Dullstroom, Stoffberg and Belfast.
The main tributaries of the Steelpoort River are the Klip River, Dwars River, Waterval River and the Spekboom River.[2] The De Hoop Dam on the Steelpoort River will be in operation from late 2014.[3][4]
Some stretches of this river are popular spots for kayaking.[5]
Sekhukhuneland, the historical area of the Pedi people, is located between the Steelpoort River and the Olifants River.[6]
