Dinokana is a town on the N4 road in Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality in the North West province of South Africa.

The area became the main town of the Bahurutshe in 1849, when Kgosi Moiloa I settled it with about 1,500 people, who had been displaced following the Difaqane war.

[2] In 1875, a succession dispute in the aftermath of Moiloa's death led to the displacement of many BaHurutshe, and nearly half of the population moved to Gopane.

[3] The women of Dinokana had largely refused to carry the passbooks, and Kgosi Moiloa had supported their decision.

At the first meeting held by the native commissioner, 1000 women gathered but only 70 passbooks were taken out, Kgosi Moiloa was deposed a week later.
