Sekgakgapeng is a large, semi-urban rural township located just north of Mokopane on the N11 road in the Waterberg district of the Limpopo province of South Africa.
The settlement has grown to increasingly encroach into the town of Mokopane, previously known as Potgietersrus. Therefore, the settlement of Sekgakgapeng provides a convenient residential location to those seeking work opportunities in the nearby Mokopane and Mahwelereng.
