Kweneng

On the western slopes of the Suikerbosrand hills stood a great settlement of stone-walled compounds, now known as Kweneng. Its inhabitants were probably Tswana speakers, and the settlement was at its height between the mid-eighteenth century and the 1820s. Hundreds of compounds spread across the foothills, linked by stone passages that guided cattle through the settlement. Kweneng belonged to a wider highveld landscape of farming communities and large settlements, many of which were disrupted during the upheavals of the early nineteenth century.

The later city of Johannesburg lies here.
