Roedtan is a small town in the Limpopo province, South Africa, set in the midst of the Springbok Flats. Roedtan has a railroad station {{convert|85|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Polokwane.

The cave Makapansgat is now known to record early hominid occupation (1,500,000 years ago) and is a national monument. The Springbok Flats is a reminder that great herds of Springbok once populated the plain, which was also frequented by lions and other wild animals.{{Cn|date=February 2024}}
