Dithakong is a village situated in the north-eastern part of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, just a few kilometres from the North West provincial border.
Dithakong is situated approximately 70 km north-east of Kuruman and falls within the Joe Morolong Local Municipality and the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality.
The area was a major destination for several of the earliest nineteenth century expeditions from the Cape to the interior of the subcontinent. In colonial literature, its name is often rendered in such ways as Litakun, also Litakoo or Lattakoo.
