Ditholong is a village established in the late 70s as an extension of Letebejane Village. This has led to Ditholong being called 'New-stands'. The name means ''The Place of the African Antelope''. This village lies along the Flag Boshielo Dam (formerly known as Arabie Dam). The village is under the chieftaincy of Chief Mokgoma Matlala, who is the local chief based at Ga-Rakgoadi in Mohlalaotoane. == Economy == Economic movement is very slow in this small village and residents normally move to the more economically vibrant cities (Predominantly in Gauteng) to seek greener pastures. Seroka Consulting, which is founded and owned by a local engineer who is also a community development stalwart, in a joint venture with Gudani has conducted a feasibility study on tourism development in Schuinsdraai Nature Reserve and the adjacent villages in the eastern side of the dam for Sekhukhune Development Agency (SDA)in 2011/12 financial year. Schuinsdraai Nature Reserve is located in the western side of Flag Boshielo Dam which forms a boundary with villages in the eastern side, viz. Letebejane/ Ditholong villages in the north and Makgatle (Ga Makharankhane) village in the south. The main goal of the feasibility study was to give Sekhukhune Development Agency (SDA) and its development partners (Ephraim Mogale Local Municipality, Limpopo Tourism Board and communities adjacent to the dam site) sufficient confidence to make informed decisions about potential for private investment in the project. Using primary and secondary data, the study team looked at (1) whether the institutional and regulatory environment was supportive; (2) whether the proposed project site was suitable for development of the proposed tourism attraction facilities (considering access to civil engineering services and environmental sensitivities); (3) whether there is an sustainable market for the proposed tourist attraction facilities; and (4) whether the proposed development is financial viable with potential to attract private investors. The assessment of the strategies, policies and plans of regulating authorities indicated a positive outlook on tourism in the Schuinsdraai/ Flag Boshielo Precinct. Nature based eco-tourism is a growing segment with an increasing attraction of international, national and local visitors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ditholong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
