The Black Leopards are a football (soccer) club, playing in South Africa's Premier Soccer League. The club, which was founded in 1983 by business people in Venda, plays its home matches in Thohoyandou, Limpopo Province. In 1998, the club was taken over by the Thidiela family. After just two seasons of campaigning in the National First Division, Black Leopards was promoted to the elite division of the country. The club has since managed to remain in the league.
The club's nickname is Lidoda Duvha, which can be translated as The day will come.
