Petros - The white colonist who brought civilisation to Modipane

The hill, commonly known as Lentswe la ga Petros to both Bakgatla and Batlokwa, is just on the edge of the borderline separating Kgatleng from Tlokweng. To any passers-by this small hill is just like any other for there are no striking features on it that could otherwise make someone take a short stop to admire the place. But to some residents of Modipane the hill's significance ends with the fact that their livestock normally drinks water from a dam located at the foot of the hill.

The older generation however, view it as a place that introduced them and the village to civilisation. Though one is able to provide the exact dates it would be safe to conclude that a Boer family settled in the area some time in the 1800s.
