Manyana village has a rich history

Just a few kilometres from Mmankgodi along the road leading to Manyana lies a very important historical site, a place where the Battle of Dimawe between Batswana tribes and the Boers was fought in the 1850s just a few years after Bahurutshe settled in the area from Groot Marico in South Africa.

But Dimawe is not the only place of historical importance in Manyana. There is the Mmasechele cave, about a kilometre from the village Kgotla on the edge of the hill in the village.
