Tlokoeng, formerly Mount Fletcher, is a town in Joe Gqabi District Municipality in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, 69 km north-north-east of Maclear. It is a birthplace of both political activities Epainette Mbeki and Oscar Mpetha.
Founded in 1882, Mount Fletcher takes its name from the mountain nearby. This was probably named after the Reverend John Fletcher of Madeley in England, a friend of John Wesley, although it is stated to have been named after a Captain Fletcher who was stationed there.
