After numerous requests the history of Francistown has been thoroughly documented in an exhibition at the Supa Ngwao Museum. From how the Homo Erectus, (the humans who walked upright), arrived in Francistown to the Stone Age, Bantu migration, arrival of Bakalanga, gold mining and the controversial ownership of land by Tati Mining Concession, is all there for a semi-permanent exhibition.

Kamogelo Mapila, a curator at the museum, revealed to showbiz that they had been receiving numerous requests for the history of Francistown to be exhibited.  He said the exhibition should last until the end of the year unless there is another major exhibition at the museum.

The exhibition starts with pictures and information about how one million years ago, Homo Erectus, lived next to the Tati and Ntshe rivers.  "They probably followed the rivers to Nyangabgwe, although none of their stone hand axes have been found here," the exhibition reads.
