The road to Noenieput (Molopo River)

To lead a Thirstland Trails tour group through a flowing Molopo River is something that is hard to believe. On 10 May 2026 it became a reality.

What a time to be in the Kalahari!

Thank you to Brett Hoy (Kalahari Explore) for capturing the moment.

By die Kalahari Museum ontdek jy die boustene en lae van die Kalahari se geskiedenis — van die pioniers, hul uitdagings en stories, tot die mense en gebeure wat die Kalahari gevorm het tot dit wat hy vandag is.

Die Kurumanrivier is een van die Kalahari se grootste wonders. Hy is altyd daar — stil, maar lewend. Ons sien hom nie altyd nie, maar diep onder die Kalahari sand en kalkbanke bly hy ’n bron van lewe in ’n harde wêreld.

Vir geslagte al leef mense en dier van sy water. Eers met die wip, later met windpompe, en vandag help die son en Eskom ook om sy lewe op te trek uit die aarde.

Maar nou, ná die reën, kom wys die Kurumanrivier weer sy gesig bo die grond van die Kalahari.

Water is lewe in die Kalahari. En ons is dankbaar teenoor die Skepper vir oorvloed vanjaar.

Die Kuruman Rivier behoort teen Vrydag of Saterdag (8 of 9 Mei) Askham te bereik en gaan heel moontlik deur druk tot in die Molopo Rivier (ongeveer 15km vanaf Askham).

Hier is nog videos (video 2 in die kommentaar) van die benede Molopo Rivier in die Swartmodder omgewing. Die water in hierdie videos is as gevolg van hoë hoeveelhede reën wat op Donderdag 30 April oor die Kalahari geval het.

Die Kuruman Rivier se water gaan ongelukkig nie hierdie gedeelte van die Molopo Rivier bereik nie as gevolg van obstruksies in die Molopo Rivier by Abiekwaput se pan (80km na die Kuruman Rivier se aansluiting by Andriesvale).

Die Molopo (suid van Noenieput) loop sterk na groot hoeveelhede reën gister (30 April) oor die Kalahari geval het. Tussen 100mm en 120mm is in die onmiddellike omgewing van Zwartmodder aangeteken.
