Khunwana

Khunwana lies among the low rocky hills of the southern African interior. The surrounding land formed part of the country of the Barolong, a Tswana people whose territory extended between the Molopo and the Vaal. By the beginning of the nineteenth century, Khunwana and Maquassie were counted among their principal centres. Cultivation and cattle keeping supported communities in a region where most rain falls during the summer months.

The later city of Mafikeng lies here.
