About 10,000 years ago, the Lake Makgadikgadidried up and only Lekhubu Island remained with a lot of salt in it. All this was caused by the climatic changes that took place many years ago. Initiation used to take place there and people were marked musing the stones called the cairns that made sure that people got initiated.{{clarify|reason=confusing sentence - "musing"?|date=June 2017}} LocationLekhubu is located in the Southern campus of the large natural topographic depression within the Makgadikgadi region of Botswana called the Sua pan, which is the largest pan in Botswana.
