Zeerust, South Africa

Kaditshwene

Kaditshwene aka Gaditshweni or Karechuenya, was a South African Iron Age settlement some 25 kilometres northeast of the town of Zeerust, North West province. It was the cultural capital of the Bahurutshe people, one of the principal Tswana tribes and a centre of manufacturing and trading. The missionary John Campbell came across this settlement in the Tshwenyane hills of the Marico area in 1820, at which time its population of 20,000 exceeded that of Cape Town.
