Article History

Mochudi, village, southeastern Botswana. It lies 23 miles (37 km) northeast of Gaborone, the national capital. Settled by the Tswana people in 1871, Mochudi is the administrative seat of the chief of the Bakgatla tribe. In Setswana, Mochudi means “a person who dishes out food from a pot” and refers to the traditional hospitality of the Tswana people toward visitors. Situated in an area adjacent to the Kalahari (desert), the town is subject to recurring periods of severe drought; subsistence farming and livestock raising are the basis of the local economy. Water is obtained from boreholes. Pop. (2001) 36,962; (2011) 44,815.
