Tlokwa Tribe

Tlokwa Tribe

The term Batlokwa refers to several Sotho-Tswana communities that reside in Botswana, Lesotho and South Africa, comprising both the followings of Tlokwa chiefs and more particularly members of clans identified as Tlokwa, or to individuals who identify themselves as of Tlokwa descent. Members of Batlokwa clans are found in all the three Sotho-Tswana language grouping i.e. Sesotho, Setswana and Northern Sotho. Most of the Batlokwa clans trace their royal lineages to Queen Manthatisi and her son Chief Sekonyela, and have the wild-cat as their original totem.

Famous quotes containing the word tribe:

    Public speaking is done in the public tongue, the national or tribal language; and the language of our tribe is the men’s language. Of course women learn it. We’re not dumb. If you can tell Margaret Thatcher from Ronald Reagan, or Indira Gandhi from General Somoza, by anything they say, tell me how. This is a man’s world, so it talks a man’s language.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
