Bunkum and Bugaboos: Boers, Sechele and Dimawe

“In 1852 there was a time when the Boers were all over the Transvaal and they wanted to go and occupy parts of Botswana. So they crossed the Limpopo and they went into battle with none other than the King of Bakwena. Sechele I, at the battle of Dimawe just a couple of kilometres away from Gaborone. It was momentous because had the Boers defeated the Batswana led by Kgosi Sechele with Kgosi Khama, Kgosi ya Bangwaketse, they managed to repel the Boers. If it was not for Kgosi Sechele we would probably be part of the Transvaal. It was part of a collaboration that thought, how do we save this country of ours.” Growthwellpodcast, Tiktok, accessed 08 October 2025
