Read this : Find out the meaning of Limpopo

Oya limpopo, some of you reading this may not know the meaning of the word "Limpopo". Some have heard kcee's music limpopo but never cared to search the word.

Limpopo  is the northernmost province of South Africa. It was named after the Limpopo River that flows across the province; the name "Limpopo" has its etymological origin from the Sepedi word diphororo tša meetse - meaning strong gushing waterfalls. Sepedi language is spoken by a third of the people in the province. The capital is Polokwane, formerly named Pietersburg.
In 1994 the province was formed from the northern region of Transvaal Province and initially named Northern Transvaal. The following year, it was renamed Northern Province.
