What is "mopipi"

Mopipi is a village in Central District of Botswana. It is located close to Makgadikgadi Pan. The population was 3,066 in 2001 census. This area has witnessed steady aridification and desertfication since the Pleistocene, but perhaps most dramatically since the 19th century. In particular, the Boteti River used to flow year around in this area on its way to discharge to the Makgadikgadi Pans, but presently this flow is only in the rainy season.
