Bokspits

Bokspits is a village in the Kgalagadi District of Botswana and the southernmost village in the country. It has a border post with South Africa near the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which places it among the Botswana-South Africa border crossings. Statistics Botswana's figures, quoted by the encyclopedia article, count 705 people in the 2022 census. A popular theory holds that the name comes from a settler called Bok who owned a well in the region, so the name would mean Bok's pits, and a 2013 newspaper feature on the village described its revival.
