At the risk of wholesale plagiarism:

Tswaing is a meteorite crater exposed at the surface, 1.13 km in diameter, 100 m deep [1] and the age is estimated to be 220,000 ± 52,000 years (Pleistocene).  The impactor is believed to have been a stony meteorite some 30 to 50 m in diameter that was vaporized during the impact event.  The name Tswaing means Place of Salt in Tswana and the crater was also formerly known as English: Pretoria Saltpan crater and Afrikaans: Soutpan krater.  Tswaing is currently on the tentative list for consideration as a World Heritage Site.
