Mmakgosi ruins must be preserved

Only bits and pieces are left of what used to be Mmakgosi's house at Ntsweng heritage site where the royal grave yard is also located. The big open space surrounded by hills used to be Bakwena capital between 1864 and 1937 before the British authorities encouraged resettlement of the tribe to present day Molepolole. The house belonged to Mohumagadi Phetogo Sechele (Mmakgosi) who was wife to Kealeboga Sechele II who was son of Sebele I.

From the look of things looters might have had a hand in bringing the walls down and scavenged for the red baked bricks though weather conditions also played a big part leaving only a few pieces standing.
