Makgowa, Mahaletsela, and Maburu : traders and travellers before c.1820
The Setswana word Maburu is obviously derivedfrom "Boer", but the word Makgowa (applied to other Europeans) may be an earlier word applied to some Mahaletsela traders from the east coast. This paper surveys the record of 18th and early 19th century traders and travellers between the east or south coasts, and the area around the upper Limpopo valley.
