[1]Template:Infobox South African town Kagiso is a township situated in the Krugersdorp area in Gauteng Province, South Africa. It was established in 1920 by ex-miners and squatters from nearby Luipaardsvlei. By 1950 the number of squatters had grown, spawning the larger Luipaardsvlei and Lewisham township, southeast of Krugersdorp.[2]
The word "Kagiso" means peace in Tswana. The township is occupied by nearly 190,000 people. Kagiso comprises five wards, each headed by a councillor. Some of the languages spoken there include Tswana, Southern Sotho, Northern Sotho, Xhosa, Tsonga, Venda, and Zulu.
Kagiso is the hometown of Gauteng premier Nomvula Mokonyane
