Matjitjileng (formerly called Wisconcin) is a village in the Waterberg District Municipality of the Limpopo province of South Africa. It is situated some 100 km northwest of Polokwane and Mokopane. It is a rural area about 1700m above sea level.
Many former residents of Matjitjileng have moved to urban areas such as Mokopane, Polokwane, Pretoria, Johannesburg and other towns. Matjitjileng continues to rely on traditional farming and livestock farming. Residents of Matjitjileng own their land; they are a self-ruled village, as they have no king but an Induna (currently Acting Chief Peter Ramaloko).
The language spoken in Matjitjileng is Northern Sotho (commonly referred to as Sepedi). Although there is some ethnic diversity, like Tsongas (the Ndlovus, Mokwenas and the likes), most of the people call themselves Bakone under Kgosi Matlala in bavaria Ga-Mathapo, though he is not the king of Matjitjileng. The bona fide king of the village is Kgosi Machaka of the Batlokwa tribe, though the rurals respect King Matlala Phuti for his position as a king of the Matlala area.
The people of Matjitjileng have embraced education as the key factor to the success of every family.
Ploughing is the most significant source of poverty eradication in Matjitjileng. Sugar beans, corn, mabela, mafela, morogo and livestock farming are the source in this regards.
Matjitjileng does not have a source of water like a river. Back in the days before people started having their own boreholes, they used to get water from the local well next to the famous Ga-Mahlatjie property (sedibeng) and the community borehole (pomping ya setshaba). Now there is a water supply, thanks to a government initiative.
