Dithakwaneng

Dithakwaneng lay on the open, dry grassland of the southern Kalahari fringe, where Tswana chiefdoms kept cattle and farmed wherever rain allowed. The Tlhaping and Rolong peoples of this country moved their herds between seasonal water points, and a chief's town depended on wells, pans and the paths that led to them. Iron working and hide preparation supplied each household, while trade with neighbouring groups brought in beads, cloth and metal goods.
