Polokwane Ext 44 (UK: /ˌpɒləˈkwɑːnɪ/,[2] meaning "Place of Safety" in Northern Sotho;[3][4][5] alternatively Greenside or simply Ext 44), is a township in Polokwane under the Capricorn District Municipality in the Limpopo province of South Africa.[6]

Ext 44 was the first township to ever emerge from the City of Polokwane, despite experiencing the heavy rains and floods throughout the years,[7][8] the township is known for its never dying criminal activities.[9][10][11]
