Go mekgwatlha e mebedi; yo o kwa bone botlhaba ke ko lentswe le bidikametseng teng.

Bontsi jwa letlola le go tletse metlhala ya batho le diphologolo e supang diphologolo tse di tlwaelesegileng tsa Aferika jaaka dithutlwa.Metlhala e, e ne e dirwa ka kga go kgapa,mokgwa wa go betla wa babutswapele.Mo letlotlong go na le bosupi jwa didirisiwa tsa letsopa tse di dirilweng nako ya matlapa a santse a le metsi tse di ka tswang di ne di dirisiwa ke batsumi gongwe badimo ba Basarwa.[4]

Go dipolelo di le dintsi tse di tlhalosang tlhôlêgô ya Matsieng. Polêlô ya ga Matsieng e a tshwana mo banning ba ba gaufi le lefelo.Dipolelo tsa Batswana di supa Matsieng fa e ne e le dimo wa leoto le lengwe yo o duleng kwa tlase ga legaga la metsi le diphologolo tsa gagwe.Dingwe tsa dipolelo di supa Matsieng fa a le maoto mabedi mme polêlo yotlhê e a tshwana.O ne a latelwa ke Basarwa,Bakgalagadi le merafe ya Batswana.[7]

Jaaka dimo le balatêdi ba gagwê , ba ne ba tlogela metlhala ka nako lefatshe lê le boleele fa legageng la mêtsi le omileng go tsamaya le nako.Le fa go ntse go nale mafelo a magwe a ga akanyetswang fa Matsieng a duleng teng, letlotla la ga Matsieng ke lone le botlhokwa ka gore leina le apere lefelo leo jaaka moanelwa mo polelong ye.

Ga go opê yo o itseng gore Matsieng o ne a dirisediwang mo bogologolong le fa go dumelwa gore e ne e le lefelo le pula e dirwang mo go lone. Gotsweng goo lowe go tla bosheng, lefelo le, le ne le dirisiwa ke banni. Ba ne ba tlisa diphologolo go nwa metsi mo magageng. Mo bogompienong, le dirisiwa e le lefelo la setlhabelo ko banni ba dirang meletlô ya go tlisa dipula tsa ngwaga. Le fa le sa tlhole le dirisediwa go nosa doruiwa le diphôlôgôlô, metlhala le mekwalo e ne ya senngwa ke thuo le tshenyêgo ya tlhôlêgô e diragalang ka nakô.
