==History== Kgomokasitwa gets its name from a hill which is located 6 km from the village. Occasionally there can be seen mist at the top of the hill indicating that it may be cold up there, hence the name Kgomokasitwa or loosely translated, Freezing Cow. ( Kgomo = cow) and (sitwa = freezing). The majority of people in the village are of Bangwaketse tribe even though it is multi tribal.
