The Klip River (or in Afrikaans: Kliprivier, lit. 'Stone river') is the main river draining the portion of Johannesburg south of the Witwatersrand, and its basin includes the Johannesburg CBD and Soweto.[1] The mouth of the river is at Vereeniging where it empties into the Vaal River,[2] which is a tributary to the Orange River. Besides Vereeniging, other towns along the river include Henley on Klip, Lenasia and Meyerton.
