Bela Bela, previously known as Warmbad (Warmbaths) is a town situated on geo-thermic hot springs in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. Bela Bela, the Tswana name for the hot springs, produces 22,000 litres per hour at 50°C. It was discovered by Tswana tribes that moved into the area in the early 1800s. In 1873 the Transvaal government bought the land to build a resort at the springs and called it Warmbad. Population of Warmbad is 43,213.
