The Sotho-Tswana people are part of Bantus speaking peoples who have settled in Southern Africa. In addition to the Batswana or ‘Western Sotho’ the Sotho-Tswana group includes the Basotho of Lesotho and the Orange Free State to whom the term ‘Sotho’ has come to be more specifically and almost exclusively applied. This group is sometimes referred to as the ‘Southern Sotho’. A third group comprises the Northern Sotho who at times have been incorrectly referred to as the Bapedi.
