Gaseitsiwe

Gaseitsiwe (c. 1820–1889) was the kgosi of the Bangwaketse in present-day Botswana from c. 1824 to 1889. He succeeded his grandfather, Makaba II. The early years of his reign were under the regency of Gaseitsiwe's uncle Sebego, who seized power forcefully. Gaseitsiwe formally took power in 1853. He ruled until his death and was succeeded by his son Bathoen I.
