In the mid 18th century, Amandebele-a-Moletlane (changed to Amandebele a Lebelo in the 1990s)settled in the area known as Leeuwkraal 396 among groups of Tswana-speaking people.

The Amandebele-A-Moletlane were used to farming and grazing cattle on extensive pieces of land and soon they had too little to provide for the lively hoods of their people in the space of growing populations wherein they couldn't expand on their territorial vicinity.

Furthermore, tribal authorities, the state, and private businessmen invested money in a grand plan to house large numbers of migrant workers.

Unlike other townships in Gauteng, the area does not have access to a sophisticated railway network and [3] as a result, transport for most of the people remains largely by means of buses, private cars and minibus taxis.

The Ndebele are a proud people and have a great sense of pride in home ownership and focus culturally on individual identity.
