Second lap research: 100 sites

Out of the 100 sites, explored and investigated here at the National Museum they are emerging tales, legends that are informed by archeological, natural, ethnological, and historical
evidences.An  enthusiatic team encompassing all the afore mentioned disciplines has been dispatched into the field in the Southern region beginning the 2nd of November 2009 to undertake reasearch to unearth ramanants of Botswana cultures.

What is emerging from the first monumental picture is that this footprint is found in Kanye, this site has recently been recommended as a site worth development.Pic coutersy of Museum Photography Unit. Another footprint attributed to Matsing measuring over 32cm in length, is found near Mochudi. the distance is well over 200km. A left footprint is at the Kobokwe Cave, which is at least 50km away from Mochudi. Another footprint can be found at Tswapong. This footrint depicted here  is clearly not large nor is it near giant, could it possibly be one of his people foot?
For the sake of our readers the legenadry story of Matsieng is well known among Batswana and without getting into details of Botswana ethnic cultural make up, legend has it  a giant and ancestor of the Tswana, led his people and animals from the centre of the earth to inhabit the world. This happened long ago when the rocks of the earth were still soft and the footprints of Matisieng, his people and their animals are outlined in the ancient sandstone rocks. The hole, from which Matisieng is said to have emerged, is over 4 metres deep and filled with water.The culminitaion of Matsieng footrints, his people and his animals can be seen near Mochudi.The mystery of Matsieng continues as man continually seeks to know his origin.
Kgoro Village, Lecha la Kgoro in Borolong has also been given thumps up for development.As usual Motswediwaditso gives coverage of this project this Sunday, tune in.
