Tsetsebjwe, the village of the hallowed hill

TSETSEBJWE: At least the entire country knows that the village of Tsetsebjwe is named after a mountain - which is no more than a hill, really - thanks to the late music legend Duncan Senyatso's song of the same name. As he says, Senyatso was told by his grandfather Rra Mogale "gore Tsetsebjwe go tewa thaba" (Tsetsebjwe refers to a mountain), so go the lyrics.

The hill is regarded as hallowed ground by the village whose inhabitants recall the time they settled at its foot so that sentries could go up and 'espy' the enemy, including the Boers who crossed the border to poach animals drinking at the perennial springs, one of which was Mokgojwe.
