		Most found openings in the high-security fence at river crossings, but Hofmeyr says one bull trundled for many kilometres along the fence until he was able to round it where it meets the Limpopo River border in the far north.

		Where large rivers or their tributaries flow from one country to another, or form the boundaries between countries, they are referred to as international rivers or shared watercourse systems.

		In the Limpopo River Basin, Chokwe town and its outskirts were flooded; the town's drainage system was under construction and not operational when the rains fell, exacerbating the flooding.
		In the southern region, the Limpopo River level is also decreasing, and, as shown in Figure 3, the situation appears to be stabilizing.
		The river is already receding, and given that the rainy season is soon to end, further flooding is doubtful.
