There is a linkage between slope form and geomorphic processes. Data for this study was collected through measurements and observations. The slope units on the hillslopes of Target Kopje experience different geomorphic processes and these to a large extent depend on slope gradient, orientation, surface cover and length. It emerged from this study that there are five slope units on the hillslopes of Target Kopje. The slope units are crests, the convex slope, the transportational middleslope, the footslope and the toeslope. To illustrate the slope units found on the hillsopes of Target Kopje the photograph as well as the diagram of the profile of the hillslopes is provided. There are different slope processes (erosional and depositional) on the slope units of the Kopje. The processes differ with the nature of the slope unit.
