Is there a more intriguing place on Earth than where humanity first stepped? The Kgatleng District holds this very claim. You might be standing here, but imagine the Bakgatla people, the original inhabitants of this land. The Kgatleng District is their homeland. It’s a place steeped in rich history and tradition. Kgatleng District even boasts a connection to one of literature’s most beloved detectives, Precious Ramotswe. Mochudi, the district capital and hometown of this fictional detective from Alexander McCall Smith’s “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” series, lies within Kgatleng District. The Kgatleng District’s claim to fame, however, are the Matsieng Footprints. These footprints, etched onto rock, are said to belong to a giant, a Tswana ancestor. Legend claims he emerged from the earth’s centre with his people and animals, populating the world. Visit the Phuthadikabo Museum in Mochudi, and immerse yourselves in the captivating history of the Kgatleng District. The Kgatleng District is more than just a geographical location.
