  Bushveld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bushveld is a tropical savanna ecoregion of Southern Africa that encompasses most of Limpopo Province and part of the North West Province of South Africa and extends into western Botswana and southern Zimbabwe.
There are three significant mountain ranges in this region: the Drakensberg escarpment that forms the eastern border of the Bushveld and runs from Tzaneen in the north to Belfast in the south; the Waterberg range that stretches from Mokopane in the east to Thabazimbi in the west; the Soutpansberg range just north of Makhado.
As most of the region tends to be dry, the Bushveld is mostly cattle and game farming country, with only a few drought-resistant crops such as sorghum and millet being farmed, usually under irrigation.

This is in contrast to the majority of layered igneous complexes that crystallized from basaltic parent liquids (e.g., the Skaergaard intrusion in Greenland, the Munni Munni and the Windimurra complexes in Western Australia and the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe) in which the halogen-bearing minerals are distinctly fluorian.
Because of the wide variation in halogen concentrations in these two intrusions, they are ideal intrusions in which to study possible causes for these variations and their potential for economic metal transport.
The associated sills are of particular interest as their compositions may preserve evidence of the original halogen concentrations of Bushveld magma(s).
