Thohoyandou	iano82	2015-10-08T08:12:39+00:00	Thohoyandou is a town found in Ha-Mphaphuli. It was named after the great king of Vhavenda, King Thohoyandou, who ruled the Vhavenda kingdom from the 1690s to the early 1720s. Today Thohoyandou is the second largest town in Venda after Makhado (Louis Trichardt).
Thohoyandou was established and built at a large portion of the village of Mbaleni in the late 1970s. It was established by Thovhele Patrick Ramaano Mphephu who was the Prime Minister of the Venda Bantustan. Thohoyandou became the capital of Venda when Venda was declared a ´republic´ in 1979, and Thovhele ´Mphephu became the President of the ´Republic of Venda´. Thohoyandou became the centre and economic hub of ´the Republic of Venda´.
