Sibasa is a village situated along the R523 Regional Route in the Thulamela Local Municipality within the Vhembe District Municipality of the Limpopo Province of South Africa.
Sibasa village was once the capital of the nonindependent Bantustan of Venda. When Venda was declared independent in 1979, the capital was moved to Ṱhohoyanḓou.
A station was established there in 1872 by Carl Beuster of the Berlin Mission. The village is an industrial growth centre just northeast of Thohoyandou and about 7 km north of the Luvuvhu River.
Located at an elevation of 2,428 feet (740 m) and named after a Venda chief, Tshivhase, Sibasa is 72 km northeast of Louis Trichardt on the main road from Louis Trichardt to Kruger National Park.
Besides small local industries, Sibasa has the branch of the Employment Bureau of Africa that recruits mine workers for employment by the South African Chamber of Mines.
The village has a technical institute, and the burial ground of the Venda royal family is located nearby.
