City of Louis Trichardt

Louis Trichardt (formerly Tshirululuni and Trichardtsdorp, and Makhado from 2003 to 2014), informally shortened to LTT (), is a town in Limpopo, South Africa. It is at the foot of Hanglip, in the Soutpansberg mountain, and is the centre of the Makhado Local Municipality, which comprises 16,000 km2 with a population of 270,000 (2001). Louis Trichardt is located in a fertile region where litchis, bananas, mangoes and nuts are produced. The N1 national route runs through the town. Louis Trichardt is 437 kilometres from Johannesburg and 106 kilometres from the Zimbabwean border at Beitbridge. The town was the capital of the Rambulana Venda Kingdom until 1864. In the 21st century Louis Trichardt was known for a time as Makhado, but it was changed back to Louis Trichardt. Elim, Tshikota, and Madombidzha townships surround the town in all directions. Its common languages are Tshivenda, Xitsonga, Afrikaans and English.
