Sotho-Tswana peoples
The Sotho-Tswana peoples are a group of Bantu-speaking peoples of southern Africa, including the Sotho of Lesotho, the Tswana of Botswana and the Pedi of north-eastern South Africa. Their closely related languages form the Sotho-Tswana branch of the Bantu family. Living mainly on the highveld, they traditionally combined cattle-keeping and farming and often lived in large, organised towns.
