Groblersdal is a farming town situated at the junction of the N11, R25, and R33 roads in the Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality within the Sekhukhune District Municipality in the Limpopo Province of South Africa.
Groblersdal lies approximately 32 km north of the 178 million m³ Loskop Dam and is South Africa’s second largest irrigation settlement
The main crops in this man-made floodplain are cotton, tobacco, citrus fruit, table grapes, maize, wheat, vegetables, sunflower seeds, peanuts, lucerne and peaches, although not in order of importance as some previously leading crops e.g. tobacco, have made way for others such as grapes.
Groblersdal is well known for its rather colourful Ndebele culture who are recognised for their gorgeous bead work crafts and vibrant house painting. All these works are on display at various cultural villages in the region. The Boer War route throughout the region is ideal for history lovers.
Groblersdal was laid out on the farm Klipbank taking advantage of the Loskop Dam, and named after the original owner WJ Grobler.
Notable people from Groblersdal include Roma Blecher, noted philanthropist and Shakespeare scholar, and South African Test bowler Duanne Olivier (born 1992).
