But it become a 'Desert Cit Ka lebaka la tlhaelo ya metsi khama le batho ba gagwe bane ba fudugela kwa motseng wa phalatswe/phalapye motse yo o dikilometara tse di herang bobedi kwa bokoni botlhaba jwa motseng wa shoshong magare ga dingwaga tsa 1888 le 1889 kwa e riling morago ba bo ba fetela kwa motseng wa serowe yo oleng kwa bokoni Bophirima jwa phalapye. .
