'Kweneng' is one of the
districts of Botswana and is the recent historical homeland of the
Bakwena people, the first group in
Botswana converted to
Christianity by famed missionary
David Livingstone. Various landmarks, including
Livingstone's Cave, allude to this history. The seat of the district's government is
Molepolole, Botswana's most populous village (only trailing
Botswana's two cities:
Gaborone and
Francistown).
