de:Phuthaditjhabanl:Phuthaditjhaba Phuthaditjhaba is a town in the Free State Province of South Africa. The frequent snow on the Drakensberg mountain peaks surrounding the town led the San to call the region Qwa-Qwa (whiter than white). It was known as Witsiehoek to the European settlers. The area was then turned into the bantustan or homeland of QwaQwa with Phuthaditjhaba as the capital. The bantustan system was scrapped in 1992.
