Leitibolo lwa ntlo-kgolo ya bogosi jwa ga Kgosikgolo Nôtô-a-Morolong e ne ya nna mošimane yo a neetšweng leina – Morara.

Go belaelwa ha e ne e le ka pušo ya gagwe Kgosikgolo Morara yo, ha Barolong ba tshela noka ya Limpopo mo phudugong ya bone ya go ya Borwa (Southward Migration) go tšwa ntlheng ya Matsha A Magolo (Great Lakes Region).

Bangwe bare ke ka yone paka e, ha Barolong ba simolola go ana Tholo. Go umakwa ha e ne ya re nako nngwe, ba le mo komelelong mme ba tlhoka metsi, ba sala motlhape wa ditholo morago go itlha o ba tsenya kwa nokeng, mme morago ga go nwa, ba simolola go
ana tholo ka e ba thusitse go bona metsi.

Ha re itse gore a noka e, e ne e le yone ya Limpopo kana e go buiwang ka yone ke e ba kopaneng le yone moragonyana, ya Molopo.

Banna ba ba dutseng mo setilong sa bogosi morago ga lošo lwa ga Kgosikgolo Morara, e ne ya nna:

● Kgosikgolo Mabe
● Kgosikgolo Mabua
● Kgosikgolo Manoto
● Kgosikgolo Mabeo

Kgosikgolo Mabeo o ne a latelwa ke Kgosikgolo Modiboa, yo
bakwadi ba maloba ba umakang ha a busitse morahe ka nako eo ba neng ba le kwa Molemane (Ottoshoop). Barwa' Modiboa, bao re itseng ka bone, ke Mooki le Tshesebe.

Mokwadi wa history, e b**g Modiri Molema, o re itsise ha bogosi go tšwa go Kgosikgolo Mabe go itlha go Kgosikgolo Modiboa-a-Mabeo, bo tseile dingwaga di ka nna lekgolo (100 years).

Ka Kgosikgolo Modiboa le morwa’e o mogolo- Mooki- ba ne ba rata go tšoma diphologolo tsa naga, e ne e tle e re kgotla e dutse, ba bo ba batliwa...ba ile kwa sekgweng.

Go bonala o kare morwa’ Kgosikgolo Modiboa yo monnye- Tshesebe- e ne e tle e nne ene a etelelang kgotla pele ha Rragwe le mogolo’e ba tsene ka lenga la seloko jalo.

Ka jalo, khuduthamaga e ne ya heletsa e tlhobogile Kgosikgolo
Modiboa le Mooki; mme ba simolola go tsitsinya gore Tshesebe e
nne ene a tsayang bogosi.

Seo, sa baka kgoga-kgogano magareng ga barwa ba Kgosikgolo
Modiboa; mme Tshesebe a huduga kwa g*e kwa Molemane (Ottoshoop) le balatedi ba gagwe; go itlha a tsena le go simolola motse wa gagwe o moša; o a o neileng leina- Setlagole.

Setlagole, gompieno, e dikilo-metara di ka nna mašome a šupa le borataro (76 km) go tswa Mahikeng; mo tseleng ya N18 e e yang kwa Vryburg.

About 1825, Regent Mochware led the Mariba clan from their home- Bothithong- to a new town called Ganyesa.

In the middle of this operation, his brother- Molale- together with his sons- Mocumi (aka Moabinyane) and Bogacu- abandoned the clan with a large following.

A Missionary- Robert Moffat- describes Molale as...“Heathen, untrustworthy, and unpleasant”. It must be noted however, that whenever Europeans would write ill about African leaders like this, it must be taken with a pinch of salt.

More often than not, such character assassinations were provoked by the refusal of African leaders to embrace Europeans in their midst.

Be that as it may, Molale and Mocumi settled at Konke. As for Bogacu, he went to Morokweng. Some of the descendants of this Bogacu, today, can be found at Kudunkgwane; and they descend directly from his son- Makwati.

Mocumi later begot, among others, Setlhabetsi & Mothibakgomo. In 1884, Mothibakgomo reigned.

Setlhabetsi begot Tšoko Setlhabetsi (principal house); and Keokgopile Piet Setlhabetsi (second house).

Keokgopile then succeeded Mothibakgomo and ruled until his death in 1933.

Tšoko begot Setlhabetsi Tšoko Setlhabetsi (b:1896) who ruled until he was deposed in 1944.

He was then succeeded by Keokgopile’ son- Johnny Piet Setlhabetsi. This Johnny Piet Setlhabetsi begot Mmadi and Mminatshipi.

As for Setlhabetsi Tšoko Setlhabetsi, he begot, among others, Mantobana Phekoetsile Setlhabetsi, Motlhalehi & Motlhalehinyane
Setlhabetsi.

Mantobana then begot, among others, Ditebogo Moss Setlhabetsi- still living at the time of publishing this book.

HOW KGOSI LUCAS MANGOPE BUILT BOPHUTHATSWANA 🇳🇷 FROM SCRATCH

When Bophuthatswana started it was a self-governing homeland, but not independent. Therefore, every decision had to be approved by Pretoria. The homeland was very rural and dry, and there was nothing in terms of infrastructure. So, Chief Minister Mangope had a lot of challenges: there were no industries, no commercial farming, no tarred roads, and the general population was illiterate. He had to establish commercial farming, built industries, but these required skilled personnel of which there was none.

The only income came in the form of a South African government grant of R20 000 annually. His first priority was education because he wanted to invite industrialists to invest in Bophuthatswana. He reckoned it was easier to train a literate worker than an illiterate one. Regarding industrialization, the South African government was imposing difficult conditions on would-be foreign investors in Bop, like being allowed only short-term leases on land. Mangope wanted them to own the land on which factories were built, as an incentive to stay long term.

Other restrictions were on education – foreign teachers could not be employed permanently – only on temporary basis. This discouraged a lot of American and British teachers from coming to Bop. There was also pressure from Pretoria to use Afrikaans as a medium of instruction. Mangope was against this, because then he wouldn’t be able to use foreign teachers. He wanted foreign teachers because to teach Maths and Science. Students with Maths and Science could be trained to work in the proposed industries and also become doctors, etc.

To remove all restrictions once and for all, he opted for independence in 1977. Now he could built industries in places like Ga-rankuwa Zone 15, Babelegi in Temba, Thaba Nchu near Bloemfontein, and offer industrialists needed incentives, and employ foreign teachers unhindered. He could built agricultural colleges and establish and agricultural bank to help emerging farmers. He also built a university because he had observed that Xhosas and Vendas were more educated due to proximity to universities.

He invited mining companies to survey Bop and build mines around particularly Rustenburg. He used the mineral rights royalties to build infrastructure, pay teachers and the police, and he built the Mmabatho International School affiliated with Cambridge. Mangope also realized there was a great opportunity in tourism and gambling, as gambling was illegal in South Africa at the time. Together with Sol Kerzner, he established Sun International Bop – a 49/51 percent shareholding agreement in favour of Sol Kerzner.

Under this brand, Sun City, Tlhabane Sun, Morula Sun, The Carousel and others were built. Pilanesburg National Park was also established around Sun City to encourage tourism. The endeavour was a resounding success, raking in the money. From the onset, Lucas Mangope knew the homeland system was temporary, but his main concern was the black man’s inferiority complex. His belief was that unless people were given the chance to run and oversee their own affairs successfully, they would never feel equal.

His style of governance was authoritarianism with an equal measure of inspiration. He believed that there could never be any progress amidst chaos. He also went around the homeland giving rousing speeches to inspire confidence in the people. The speeches were always uplifting. Hendrik Verwoerd, when inventing Apartheid put it bluntly: “It won’t last forever, it’s not meant to last forever, but to give the Afrikaner an advantage, a head-start. So, do not teach the black child Maths and Science, his job is to serve the white man.” I paraphrase.

So, nothing was given to him on a silver platter by the apartheid government as is commonly claimed by detractors. Yet he was not a saint nor a perfect leader, but he took great care of his people.

President Lucas Mangope with Sol Kerzner of Sun International. In Bop Sun International was a joint venture between the government of Bophuthatswana and Mr Sol Kerzner ..The government provided the land and half the capital and Mr Kerzner supplied the expertise. Sun International created a lot of jobs and massive revenues for the government. Together with mining and agriculture, this made Bophuthatswana relatively wealthy compared to other homelands.
