Skhiming is a village in South Africa, Limpopo Province, Mopani District Municipality, Greater Giyani, Bolobedu. It was founded in 1971 in the Bantustan created by the former Prime Minister of South Africa, Hendrik Verwoerd.
==Geography== It is a flat land that is circumvented by the biggest river in Bolobedu called the Molototsi. The original inhabitants of this land belonged to the Ramafalo clan who resided on the flat land during the 18th century. This is one of the vital clans of the Lobedu (or Balobedu) tribe and is regarded as the clan of rain (Bakoto ba go fala ka naka la pula). They are believed to be able to make rain through tribal rituals dating back to the 14th century during their migration from North-West of Africa, now called Zambia and Botswana.
