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.
