Kgalagadi North District Council

The Kgalagadi North District Council (historically operated as the Hukuntsi Sub-District Council) is the primary local government authority responsible for the northern reaches of the Kgalagadi District in Botswana. Headquartered in the village of Hukuntsi, the council oversees a vast, semi-arid landscape that includes significant settlements like Kang, Lehututu, and Lokgwabe. Its mandate is to bring essential public services to these remote communities, managing everything from the maintenance of internal access roads and the provision of potable water to the operation of primary schools and clinics. Because much of the region is characterized by the Kalahari Desert’s challenging terrain, the council plays a critical role in implementing the Rural Area Development Programme (RADP), which provides social safety nets and infrastructure for residents in distant settlements.
