Middle Letaba Dam is an earth-fill type dam located on the Middle Letaba River, between Elim and Giyani, Limpopo, South Africa. The source of the Middle Letaba river rises high in the tropical Mountains of Magoebaskloof in Tzaneen, where rainfall is abudant throughout the year. It passes through different villages and the river become strong when it enters the Village of Magoro. When in full capacity, the Middle Letaba becomes Limpopo's third largest Dam, but the Middle Letaba Dam only reaches its full capacity when in floods. The Dam never reaches its full capacity because the ZZ2 farms in Mooketsi agricultural plantations also rely on the water from the Middle Letaba river, resulting in few galons of water reaching the Middle Letaba Dam. Construction of the Dam started in 1980 under Gazankulu Government and serves mainly for water supply to Giyani and Hlanganani. The Dam is situated alongside the R578 road (South Africa) to Giyani and Elim. The hazard potential of the dam has been ranked high (3).
