  Location of the Pienaars River mouth

The Pienaars River is a river in South Africa. It is a tributary of the Crocodile River. Certain sections and a tributary of this river are known as Moretele River and Moreletaspruit (alternative spellings: Morelettaspruit, Moreleta Spruit [1]).
Course
It originates east of Pretoria, City of Tshwane, Gauteng Province, flowing northwards into Roodeplaat Dam (north of Mamelodi), from where it carries on northward until it passes under the N1 and turns westward. North of Makapanstad the Apies River (or rather a short section of the Tshwane River) joins it from the left, as well as the Plat River from the right. The Pienaars continues flowing westward to the Klipvoor Dam. About 25 km further downstream it joins the Crocodile River's right bank.[2]
