Lebowa was a
bantustan ("homeland") located in the
Transvaal in north eastern
South Africa.
Seshego initially acted as Lebowa's capital while the purpose-built
Lebowakgomo was being constructed. Granted internal
self-government on 2 October 1972 and ruled for much of its existence by
Cedric Phatudi, Lebowa was reincorporated into South Africa in 1994. It became part of the
Limpopo province. The territory was not contiguous, being divided into two major and several minor portions.
