Naledi

West of Kanye, Naledi lies in the dry country of the Bangwaketse. During the late eighteenth century their chief Moleta built power partly from trade in ivory, furs and copper from near Kanye. His successor Makaba moved the community to Kanye Hill in the 1790s and fortified it with stone walls. Around 1798 the Bangwaketse defended the hill against an alliance of Rolong and Griqua attackers.

The later city of Kanye lies here.
