Mogale wa Mogale (c. 1810 - c. 1869) was a Sotho-Tswana Kgosi (Tswana: Chief or leader) of the BaPo ba Mogale (also called Bapo, abaMbo, or BaKwena ba Mogale) in what is now South Africa. Mogale reigned for almost 50 years and through his prowess as both a military leader and strategic diplomat ended local conflicts with neighbouring tribes and established a foothold for the BaPo ba Mogale to thrive. Mogale City Local Municipality in the West Rand District of Gauteng was named after him. The Magaliesberg Mountains, town of Magaliesburg and the Magalies River all bear his name ("Magalie" being a corruption of "Mogale").
