Gobojango

Gobojango, locally known as Gobas (/ɡʊbʌs/),[lacks stress] is a village in the Central District, Botswana; more specifically in the Bobirwa Sub-District.

Gobojango is kilometres from the historic place Gobadwe Hill, the ostensible origin for all Babirwa.

Babirwa were under the rule of Bakalanga Chief, Mambo at the Gobadwe Hill and he left them to establish his kingdom in Alesupi in modern-day Zimbabwe.

The family decided that the eldest daughter, Nkgwana should marry a close relative to allow them to keep their chieftaincy.

One day Mokgethi committed an offence in Zimbabwe, and instead of waiting for trial he escaped into Botswana.

With all these conflicts about Bobirwa chieftaincy, Mokgethi was treated as not worthy because he was born out of a mix of royal blood and the man from elsewhere that Nkgwana chose to make children with.

However, in recent years farming has been limited by severe droughts, inconsistent rainfall and foot and mouth disease.
