The name Schoonoord is Dutch, it is imposed on the natives of this area by Berlin Missionary Society.

Kotsiri and Phase 4 are built on idle pieces of land which were once plantations for subsistence farming.

They are new sections in the Schoonoord jurisdiction which developed as a result of influx of people from neighboring villages and descendants from the five chiefs.

They travelled from surrounding villages to Schoonoord and the bus stop was a hive of activity that attracted entrepreneurs.

The movement of people towards the offices resulted in a small scale economic development in the village.

The selling and buying of fruits, vegetables and refreshments dominated trade, and the makeshift stalls formed a commercial landscape of the village.

The formal trading was a preserve of a handful of families that included the Maloma's and Mogale's who established their businesses in the 1970s and maintained them through generations until the 2010s.

In Sepedi culture dinaka also refers to a traditional dance done by men and teenage boys, it is performed during weddings celebrations and initiation school graduation.

It is performed at weddings by the bridal party and accompanied by a dance move called S'TEPE meaning step.

There is a dispute between the incumbent chief at Kgoši Tshesane's compound and the royal council on the practice of initiation (Koma).

Koma in the Schoonoord community and the Sekhukhune region at large has always been safe and fatality free.
