Lejweleputswa

Lejweleputswa, a name meaning grey rock, lies in the open country of the southern highveld. Stone walls, graves and other remains mark the long habitation of this region, where settlements were built near rivers and rocky outcrops. In the centuries before the nineteenth, Sotho-speaking communities inhabited the surrounding landscape. The country around the Sand River and Winburg was associated with Taung and Kubung settlements, part of the varied society of the interior south of the Vaal.
