Ntsoana Tsatsi

Ntsuanatsatsi, the place of the rising sun, is a flat-topped hill of great importance in Sotho traditions. Stories tell of ancestors emerging from a cave surrounded by marsh and reeds; the hill is also remembered as the home of several Kwena clans. Stone-walled settlements lie around it, giving their name to a distinctive pattern of early highveld building. In 1836 the traveller Thomas Arbousset passed within sight of the hill and recorded the ruins of its former inhabitants.

The later city of Newcastle lies here.
