Morokweng
Template:Infobox South African town Morokweng is a town in Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality in the North West province of South Africa.
The village, which lies 140 kilometres north-west of Vryburg, was first occupied by Kgosi Maiketso in the 1790s after he broke away from the main Barolong faction at Kuruman.[1]
When Bechuanaland came under British control in 1886, Morkweng was designated a Native Reserve, with an area that by the late 1950s was estimated to be 160,000 morgen in extent.[1]
In 1994, a large impact crater, the Morokweng crater, was discovered in the ground near the village.[1]
