Kaditshwene, Archaeological site in North West Province, South Africa
The excavated ruins of Kaditshwene contain stone foundations, pottery fragments, and metal objects scattered across multiple settlement layers spanning several centuries.
During the 18th century, Kaditshwene developed into a major Tswana settlement with sophisticated architectural structures and established trade networks throughout Southern Africa.
The settlement patterns and material remains at Kaditshwene demonstrate the technological capabilities and social organization of the Tswana communities in pre-colonial times.
