Molepolole South is a constituency in the Kweneng District represented by Shima Monageng, a UDC Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Botswana since 2024.
Constituency profile Molepolole South has existed since the inaugural 1965 general election, when it was contested as Molepolole East. It was later known as Kweneng East from the 1974 to the 1989 general elections, and as Lentsweletau in the 1994 and 1999 elections.

The constituency is centred on the southern part of Molepolole, one of Botswana's largest traditional villages and extends into surrounding localities in the southern part of Kweneng District.
