Batlhaping tribe

Batlhaping is one of the Tswana tribes which resides mostly in the Northern Cape and North West of South Africa and in Botswana. The name of the Batlhaping loosely translates to; " those with an affinity for fish". After Barolong settled on the banks of the Orange River known as Kolong, fish became a staple of their diet. There were several harassing raids by the Ndebele which led to most Barolong to move Northwards to modern day Ganyesa. Those who were left behind stayed and fought back against the raids of the Ndebele and they were referred to from that point as "those who remained behind to eat fish", thus this became their name. This however did not mean that they were independent from Barolong. "Tlhapi" means "Fish", and this is not the tribe's totem. The tribe does have the symbol of the fish in usage under some circumstances to differentiate themselves from other Barolong, however since they are Barolong their totem or equivalent is a Kudu, which in Setswana is called Tholo. This is why Barolong affectionately refer to each other as "Tholo".
