Mahwelereng is a township in the Mogalakwena Local Municipality within the Waterberg District Municipality of the Limpopo Province of South Africa.
Mahwelereng township is situated about 2 km from Mokopane. It is a product of Apartheid South Africa’s policies in the former Bantustan of Lebowa.
Majority of the original residents of Mahwelereng were from an area which old residents call “Ol’ Location”. Ol’ Location was too close to town and the residents had to be moved further away from town. There are still remnants of Ol’ Location such as the “Bar” and the Lutheran Church Mission on the Sekgakgapeng site.
Mahwelereng township is bordered by Sekgakgapeng, Mountainview, Moshate, Phola Park, and Ga-Madiba.
