Bush Train BW taps on Lobatse's unexplored rich heritage

The great folklore legend George Swabi in his timeless hit Baga Mmangwato Baga Mabiletsa describes the uniqueness of train ride in Lobatse when he said “O se bone seporo go namalala ko Lobatse se boa se ikgarile”. Although some believe Swabi’s lyrics are just a metaphor that describes something that could not be written here, there is actually a picturesque railway line curves that probably inspired the lyric.

The railway enters the town from the south meandering between the foothills along the Peleng River. The most scenic curves are from Peg-706 near the dam and Peg-705 as the railway approaches the station that is opposite Crescent School.
