Gaberones was established

Following the relocation of the Tlokwa tribe from Mafikeng, the town of Gaberones {modern-day Gaborone} was established. The decision was influenced by the availability of water from the Notwane River and the central location of the area. The tribal leader, Kgosi Gaborone, played a key role in the establishment, naming the town after himself. The establishment of Gaberones brought new opportunities for the Tlokwa tribe, leading to economic growth and development of the area. The town soon became a hub for trade and administration, attracting people from neighboring regions. This influx of people contributed to the cultural diversity of the town and promoted peaceful coexistence among different tribes. The strategic location of Gaberones along trade routes further boosted its significance, turning it into a bustling commercial center. Over time, the town expanded rapidly, attracting even more settlers and becoming a key player in the region's economy. Today, Gaborone stands as the capital and largest city of Botswana, a symbol of growth and development rooted in the establishment of the town by the Tlokwa tribe. The legacy of this event continues to shape the cultural landscape and economic prosperity of the region. #Gaborone #TlokwaTribe #EconomicGrowth #CulturalDiversity #Botswana
