| Brief_description |
| A wetland currently being rehabilitated by the Working for Wetlands Programme. Previously this site was part of a SAFCOL pine plantation. Terrestrial and aquatic alien vegetation remains one of the biggest rehabilitation challenges, but good progress has been made. The site supports a variety of wetland species, including African Fish Eagle. |
