Toteng: A village of many lives

Unless you have something specific to do there you would not care to stop. You probably would not even notice the tiny village as you whiz past it on your way to Sehithwa or Shakawe beyond.

That is because Toteng today represents the very picture of desolation. With rampant unemployment and no economic opportunities whatsoever, the best a young person can do here is escape to the cattle post or else migrate to Maun where there might be a chance for some piece work or even permanent employment if one is lucky.
