Serowe: A political giant in decline?

The village, which is also the headquarters of the vast and expanse central district, was established in 1902. Legend has it that the vastness of the district is attributed to the cunningness of Chief Khama III who is said to have out-witted the chief of Bakgatla on the boundary that divides the two districts.

The Bakgatla ba ga Kgafela Chief apparently agreed that where they would rendezvous in the morning would be the place where the boundary would be located. The two eventually met in Dibete - a short distance from Mochudi - and as the saying goes, the rest is history.
