Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Lake Fundudzi (a.k.a. Lake Funduzi) is located in the Soutpansberg in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. Measuring about 5 km by 3 km when full, it was created by an ancient landslide blocking the course of the Mutale River. The lake and its resident crocodiles as well as the nearby forest of Thathe Vondo, are regarded as sacred by the Vhatavhatsindi, the People of the Pool who are part of the Venda people. It is the only natural inland lake in Southern Africa.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Funduzi (Fundudzi) is 'n meer in die noordooste van die Limpopoprovinsie. Die meer saam met die nabygeleë TateVondo-bos speel 'n vername rol in die folklore van die Vendas. Dit is die tuiste van die misterieuse “wit krokodille”.
