Pitsani is a trading post on the railway line to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) which lies 45 km north of Mafeking, on the western border of the Transvaal. It is famous for being the assembly point for Dr L S Jameson's followers prior to the raid in December 1895. Silas Molema owned a farm, Mabeti, in the area which he leased to white traders and farmers. His chief correspondent is P M Fincham. The correspondence deals with disputes between the farmers over farm boundaries and trading rights; the building of a school house at Pitsani in 1913; sinking of wells and disputes over rights to water cattle; trespassing and damage caused by cattle; fencing of farms.
