Bokoni

Across the hills of Bokoni, stone walls enclosed homesteads, fields and passages for cattle. Terraces climbed the slopes of the eastern escarpment, forming part of a farming landscape that stretched for some 150 kilometres. Its dense settlements flourished from around 1500 until the early nineteenth century. Moxomatsi was one of its centres, followed by Mohlo-Pela and Khutwaneng. The remains speak of communities that organised labour on a large scale to cultivate and inhabit the hills.
