Morokweng

Morokweng is a town in Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality in the North West province of South Africa.

The village, which lies 140 kilometres north-west of Vryburg, was first occupied by Kgosi Maiketso in the 1790s after he broke away from the main Barolong faction at Kuruman.

[2] When Bechuanaland came under British control in 1886, Morokweng was designated a Native Reserve, with an area that by the late 1950s was estimated to be 160,000 morgen in extent.

[2] In 1994, a large impact structure, the Morokweng impact structure, was discovered in the ground near the village.
