Mission To Kgwakgwe (II)

We left off in August 1824 with the party of the Rev. Robert Moffat and Griqua leader Barends Barends having arrived at Kgosi Makaba II royal centre at Kgwakgwe.

Elsewhere, the Bafokeng bagaPatsa and Bataung had merged under Kgosi Sebetwane to form a powerful collation that threatened the Bangwaketse and their neighbours. Then referred to by the Bangwaketse as the “Makgare”, while generically labelled as “Mantatee” by Europeans in the region, the group would ultimately become infamous as the Makololo.
