Mabeskraal is more than just a village; it is a community bound by heritage, values, and a shared vision for the future. The village is under the chieftainship of the Mabe family, a lineage that has overseen the growth and development of the community for generations. Our royal family includes the Mabe, Molotsi, and Motsisi clans, with the elephant as our totem, symbolizing strength, unity, and wisdom. Located approximately 45 kilometers from Mogwase, Mabeskraal offers a unique blend of rural charm and modern ambition. While we hold fast to our traditions, we are also committed to embracing progress and development for the betterment of our people.
