Kanye

Kanye is a large village in southern Botswana, the administrative centre of the Southern District and the capital of the Bangwaketse. Built on and around a defensible hill, it was re-established as the Ngwaketse capital in the 19th century under Gaseitsiwe and has remained the seat of the Bangwaketse chiefs since then. It is one of the largest settlements in the country.
