People
Who they are
The Tswapong, also called the Batswapong, live in villages around the Tswapong Hills, in the eastern part of Botswana’s Central District, near Palapye. The hills are sacred to them: they believe that their ancestors live there and control the rain, fertility and the harvest. Most identify as Christians, and some follow traditional religion. Tswapong is their main language.
