It is difficult to think that she is talking of events that took place almost 70 years ago. Segwabe says that her family was one of the first to arrive in Tati Siding in 1942. "It was just a place ran by the Boers and it was called TC," she says. The village lies about 15 kilometres south of Francistown. While Segwabe is from Serowe, her husband is from Tonota.

She says that at first they settled in the area now known as Ntshe in Francistown. The owners of the Ntshe land later moved them to Tati Siding. "They said that they were still building ranches at Ntshe," she says.
