History
[edit | edit source]Battle of Mosita
[edit | edit source]From Setlagole the Barolong and Bahurutshe launched their own hit-and-run attacks into the Rustenburg and Schoonspruit as well as southern Marico districts.
Thereafter, Setlagole became a staging post for raids on Boer farms in the western Transvaal. A surviving Boer document records the loss of 287 cattle from eight Schoonspruit farms during one such foray."[2][3]
Megabreccia outcrops
[edit | edit source]"A 25 to 30 km wide magnetic anomaly within the >2.79 Ga granite-greenstone rocks of the northwestern Kaapvaal Craton is spatially associated with megabreccia outcrops near the village of Setlagole in the North West Province, South Africa. The breccia comprises angular to rounded ciasts of TTG gneisses, granites and granodiorites, with lesser amounts of amphibolite, calc-silicate rock and banded iron-formation as well as unusual dark grey to black, irregular, centimetre- to decimetre-sized ciasts that show evidence of fluidal behaviour and plastic deformation during incorporation into the breccia."[4]
