In this paper we review the dimensions, geometry and architecture of the components of the Kalahari Craton and the various positions this important crustal block could have occupied within Rodinia. The Kalahari Craton was spawned from a small composite Archaean core which grew by prolonged crustal accretion in the Palaeoproterozoic along its NW side (Magondi-Okwa-Kheis belt, Rehoboth Subprovince) to form the Proto-Kalahari Craton by 1750 Ma. From ca. 1400-1000 Ma, all margins of this crustal entity recorded intense tectonic activity: the NWrnmargin was a major active continental margin between ca. 1400 and 1200 Ma and along the southern and eastern margins, the Namaqua-Natal-Maud-Mozambique belt records a major arc-accretion and continent-collision collision event between ca. 1100 and 1050 Ma. Keywords: Kalahari Craton, Rodinia, palaeomagnetism, supercontinent.
