Rankin's Pass

Rankin's Pass is a small settlement situated in the Limpopo Province on the road between Thabazimbi and Modimolle (South Africa), near Alma.

Despite the name, Rankin's Pass is not a mountain pass but more of an outpost.[1] It has a police station, a post office, and a shop.[2] Local tradition indicates that it was originally known as "Rankin's Post", after an early resident.[2]
