Tsabong is a small town located in the Kgalagadi District of Botswana, in the south-west corner of the country. It is the administrative centre of the Kgalagadi North West District, and is home to a population of around 6,000 people. The town has a rich history, and has been home to many different cultures and peoples throughout the centuries.
The earliest known inhabitants of Tsabong were the San people, who are believed to have lived in the area for thousands of years. The San were hunter-gatherers, and their lifestyle was closely tied to the environment around them. They were also known for their rock art, which can still be found in the area today.
In the 19th century, Tsabong was inhabited by the Tswana people, who were the dominant ethnic group in the region. The Tswana were a Bantu-speaking people who had migrated from the south and had settled in the area around Tsabong. They were largely pastoralists, and their presence in the area had a major impact on the local environment.
In the early 20th century, Tsabong became part of the British protectorate of Bechuanaland. During this time, the town was used as a staging post for British troops and supplies, and it became a major hub for trade and commerce in the region.
In 1966, Botswana gained its independence from Britain. Tsabong was one of the first towns to be declared part of the new nation, and it has since become an important centre of commerce and industry. The town is home to a number of businesses, including a large number of diamond mines.
Today, Tsabong is a vibrant and diverse town, with a population made up of many different ethnic groups. It is a hub for trade, industry, and tourism, and is a popular destination for visitors from all over the world. The town is also home to some of Botswana’s most important historical sites, including the National Museum of Botswana and the Tsabong Cemetery, which is the final resting place of many of the town’s earliest inhabitants.
