Talk:List of lakes of South Africa

What is a lake?
I don't know if the word "lake" is adequately defined to enable an editor to decide if a given body of water is or isn't one. In SA English we do not normally call the body of water behind a man made wall a lake. We tend to use the word "dam" for both the wall and the water. Example: "We went sailing on the Vaal Dam" does not mean the yacht crashed into the wall. Roger (talk) 11:50, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Added a few more
And added the coordinates for as far i could find. A few i don't know (haven't found yet). All of them are natural, allthough some are situated in the lagoons of rivers. Flagman (talk) 12:52, 26 February 2010 (UTC) Poses the question: If the Estuary is where river meets sea, what would be the best way to describe a Lagoon? and does someone mean the same thing with a river mouth than an estuary?Flagman (talk) 07:12, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
