Tshivhase is a town in Limpopo Province, South Africa and the former capital city of the Venda bantustan. When Venda was declared independent in 1979, the capital was moved to Thohoyandou. The corrupted name Sibasa appears a lot in South African media.In fact, the correct Venda word is Tshivhase and not Sibasa.
