Martha Moipone Motlhakwana’s house is number 932 Gonyane Street in Batho Location. It is one of the old houses in this location.
The structure of the house is old and the researchers could not determine exactly as to when was it built.
Several factors play a significant role in the importance of Martha Motlhakwana’s house. This house is of social and historical value through being a memorable site which, when restored, could attract tourists. The intimate homely life of an old house such as Martha Motlhakwana’s could bring back something of the timelessness of certain aspects of the past. But the strongest reason for its protection and restoration is probably pride in provincial achievements and the drive to protect one’s heritage, which is an important factor in patriotism. The political meetings that happened in this house during the struggle years warrant the house being declared a heritage site.
