3About Mahikeng
Mahikeng, capital of North West Province, sits right on the N18 near the Botswana border, with the R503 bringing traffic in from Zeerust and the R30 linking up to Lichtenburg. Locals nip in from Mmabatho, Motlhabeng and Setlopo, while long-haul visitors arrive from as far as Aggeneys and Orania down in the Cape. Mmabatho International Airport is just 17 km out, and there's one fast EV charger nearby. Worth knowing: this is where Baden-Powell held out during the famous 217-day Siege of Mafeking.
