Mmathethe-Molapowabojang was a constituency in the Southern District represented in the National Assembly of Botswana. Further to the completion of the 2022 Delimitation of Parliamentary constituencies, the seat was subjected to significant boundary changes that led to its dissolution. It merged with Goodhope-Mabule to form Goodhope-Mmathethe, first contested at the 2024 general election.[1]
The seat was subject to moderate boundary changes and was renamed from Ngwaketse South to Mmathethe-Molapowabojang in the lead up to the 2014 general election. It was abolished in 2024 and only elected BDP MPs in its brief existence. The constituency, predominantly rural, encompassed the following villages:[2]
