The National Development Plan, 2030
and vision of the municipality is to
become the energy hub of Africa and
Steenbokpan will play a big role in this.
It will serve the north-western parts of
Lephalale. Steenbokpan is located
favourably to establish closer links with
Botswana and associated mines to be
located in the Northern District of
Botswana.
If the area between Steenbokpan and
Stockpoort and Lephalale PGP develop
into mining activities, Steenbokpan should
not only provide limited commercial and
community services to nearby located
mines and power stations, but also serve
as a residential area. Only on a limited
scale, the housing of employees should
be focused in Lephalale town as
Steenbokpan is at a reasonable

NODAL HIERARCHY
The growth rate in this settlement is
expected to rise rapidly in years to come
due to the mining activities proposed in
the surrounds. Bulk infrastructure and
widening of roads need to start being
priority projects in this area, as well as the
provision of affordable rental housing
However, due to its close proximity to
Lephalale town, housing development
should be discouraged. Rather focus on
housing people in Lephalale town to avoid
Municipal Growth Point is proposed in
light of
LMSDF: LSP
There is a need to plan the urban form
in advance and in detail, since
Steenbokpan will play a major role
within the scope of the energy hub over
the medium and long term. This
planning should be done by means of
compilation of a Framework Plan
Upgrading of the current bulk services

Leeupoort is known as a “Holiday Township”. It is one
of the few formally proclaimed holiday townships in the
Country that has specific eco-life style natural living
areas. It was initially established as a private
development, but after it experienced financial
difficulties the township was taken over by the former
Bushveld District Council and thereafter inherited by the
Thabazimbi Municipality as a public township. The
township is characterised by gravel roads, borehole
water, septic tanks with limited boundary fences around
dwelling houses and game is roaming freely within the
confines of Leeupoort.
