Modipe

Modipe Hill rises south of Mochudi, above a landscape of old stone-walled settlements. Tradition remembers the Kwena chief Motshodi bringing his people east from Sokwane, on the edge of the Kalahari, in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century. He settled near Mochudi and later moved to Modipe. Pottery, grinding stones and the remains of houses also bear witness to settlement around the hill in the eighteenth century.

The later city of Mochudi lies here.
