Submitted by reporter on

Takarive is settlement in Botswana near Mahalapye. Originally this settlement was donated by the Bamangwato chieftainship for settling Chief Samuel Katjiikumbua Maharero’s people. Thus, several clans who fled Namibia with Samuel Maharero including those of Riarua,  Ombongora, Tjivasera, Toromba,  Mireti, Kaposambo and many others have settled there. It is said that many of the Genocide survivors were laid to rest at this settlement at what could be regarded as Heroes graves considering the fact that many of them were veterans of the war.
