Batlokoa History

Batlokoa are also known as baThlokoa or Badogwa refering to several Kgatla communities that are found in Botswana, Lesotho and South Africa, comprising both the followings of Tlokoa kings and more particularly members of clans identified as Tlokoa, or individuals who identify themselves as of Tlokoa descent. A majority of the Batlokoa clans trace their royal lineages to Kgwadi son of King Tabane, who is the father and founder of the Batlokoa nation, and have the Tlokwe-cat as their original totem which has since become extinct due to over-hunting for its fur which was used by Kings.
