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.

Therefore, the settlement of Sekgakgapeng provides a convenient residential location to those seeking work opportunities in the nearby Mokopane and Mahwelereng.

Sekgakgapeng has long suffered from service delivery backlogs, including roads, water, sanitation, and waste management.

Lack of opportunities in the area has led to social ills that include teenage drug abuse, house breaking, and other forms of criminal deviant behaviours.
