R518 road: Mmatladi (east of Lephalale) to Mokopane

This is my trip on Sunday the 26th of November 2023 where I travelled from Lephalale (Elisrus) to Polokwane on the R518 (an excellent road I might add).
The landscape from Lephalale was dry bosveld which started turning green as I moved south of Marken.
I also had the pleasure of taking the Kloof pass and enjoyed the twists, turns and views of the mountains around it.
This part of Limpopo is sparsely populated and the road was not busy; I wish I had a faster bike :) .
As I approached Mokopane I could see dark clouds and thunder hanging above and was fortunate that the raid had passed when I got to Mahwelereng.
