Of gourds and the Babirwa tribe

Called Blouberg, these mountains are of a special significance to the Babirwa, some of whom are scattered around this part of Botswana, either as farmers or just wayfarers who have settled among the indigenous populations.

Legeng has it that the Babirwa of Botswana originally came from there. The Defeqane wars of yore dispersed them hither and thither until they eventually came to live among the people of Tswapong, bringing with them the rain-making secrets. According to the elders of the tribe, this rain making practice persisted until not  very long ago.
