Debunking the Myth of Motsenekatse Hills
A common myth in Botswana claims that Motsenekatse hill, located near Molapowabojang, is named after the legendary Matebele leader Mzilikazi Khumalo.
Motsenekatse hills, named after Matebele leader Mzilikazi bears a rich history that has attracted attention from historians, scholars and tourists, among others.
However, this claim has been disputed, with evidence suggesting that Mzilikazi has nothing to do with Motsenekatse.
- The hill is believed to have been occupied by Mzilikazi's troops, not the leader himself.
- The smaller hill, Mmadithakwana, is thought to have been Mzilikazi's main abode.
Despite this, the myth persists, with some social media users continuing to peddle false information about the hill's history.
