Badplaas, current officially named eManzana, is a small town on the R38 road in eastern Mpumalanga, South Africa.
It was established in 1876 on the Seekoeispruit, in the foothills of the Dlomodlomo Mountains (meaning "place of much thunder"),[2] at the site of a sulphur spring that delivers ±30,000 litres of hot water (at ±50 °C) per hour.
Multiple sulphur springs are found around the area, including the one situated at Mkhingoma on the Mkhomazana river.
Swazi tribesmen were the first to discover the spring and called it "eManzana", which means "healing waters".
On 6 November 1893, the government claimed the springs to develop a health resort for public use in perpetuity.
