The 'forgotten village'

This is because after more than century of existence, Tobane still remains an obscure and little noticed village. 

There is hardly any economic activity in the village and most of the estimated 3,000 residents Commute to and from Selebi-Phikwe where many of them are employed. A resident, Kgosana Godfrey Manowe says Tobane is a Batlokwa village founded by people fleeing South Africa during the tribal wars in the 1800s. The people of Tobane first settled in Shoshong with Bangwato and then moved to Serorome (present day Palapye) before migrating to Makome near Mmadinare in 1901.
