TL;DR: In this article, a model for the tectonic evolution of the Limpopo Belt must be based on the following data: crustal thickening to at least 65 km between ∼2700 and 2650 Ma ago was responsible for the formation of the granulite terrane exposed in the limpopo belt today, which probably resulted from the thrusting of the Kaapvaal Craton over the Zimbabwe Craton along the south dipping Triangle-Tuli-Sabi Shear Zone.

TL;DR: The granulite-facies Limpopo Belt (LB) is subdivided into three zones, i.e. a Central Zone (CZ), with a Southern (SMZ) and a Normern Marginal Zone (NMZ).

Deep Crustal Shear Zones, High-Grade Tectonites, and Associated Metasomatic Alteration in the Limpopo Belt, South Africa: Implications for Deep Crustal Processes

TL;DR: In this article, the Southern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo orogeny is subdivided into primary straight gneisses with preserved textures that can unambiguously be referred to the $D$ exhumation stage, "annealed straight gneses" that recrystallized during post-post $D{2}$ cooling, and classic mylonites that post-date the Orogeny.

Evidence for metamorphic and igneous charnockites in the Southern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Belt
TL;DR: Metamorphic and igneous charnoenderbite and enderbite can be distinguished on the basis of field relations and bulk rock geochemistry in the Southern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Belt as mentioned in this paper.

Evolution of the Northern High-Grade Margin of the Kaapvaal Craton, South Africa
TL;DR: The Southern Marginal Zone (SMZ) as discussed by the authors is a region of high grade metamorphism in the northern Kaapvaal craton, which includes the area from the Sutherland belt in the north to the Pietersburg and Murchison belts in the south.
