Mogobane

Location of Mogobane

Mogobane is a village in South-East District of Botswana. It is located 55 km south of Gaborone and 40 km east of Kanye. The village is designed along Mogobane dam. Mogobane is home to the Balete people who are related to those in Ramotswa, Gabane and Otse and the population was 2,053 in 2001 census.^[1] Like any other village that has a bit of a traditional Setswana essence, there are many dikgotla (familial neighborhoods) in Mogobane, the main one being where the customary court offices are located. The village chief has some elders from almost all village dikgotla as his advisors. There are two primary schools and one junior secondary school. The majority of the residents of Mogobane are Christians and so there are many churches in the village. Some interesting natural features in the village, which can be attractive to tourists include the dam, the hills (like Otse hill and Lentswe La Baratani) which make borders around the village, and the rock type found in most parts of the village.
