Kraaipan

Kraaipan is a town in Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality in the North West province of South Africa and its situation is amazing because the village is found in between the three towns, namely; Vryburg ( North West), Delareyville (South East South) and Mahikeng on the (Northern Eastern direction from it). The village was formerly known as "'Mahukubung'", meaning the place of crows, which were found on a vlei or a pan by the colonizers who camped, settled, and named the place "Kraaipan" during the nights of the Anglo-Boer War initiation, they found a community of the Barolong who broke away from their Capital City of Ga-Khunwana, the council of Setlagole, an administration of Motsitlane, Ga-Thulo, Morokwa, Tlhakajeng, Mohuhuco, Motlhanaoa-pitse, Ralebelwane, Mothokaditse and other small villages to name few. This breakup was made by Mzilikazi's war attacks, leaving the community dismantled and reintegrated later after the he conquered Ga-Khunwana on his conquest.

There were MaTebele who left Mzilikazi's trek and formed the society with BaRolong who remained surviving, those were the groups who were found by the first Missionaries who were from overseas.
