Some of the earliest settlers here in the early twentieth century were the Mathe-Mbalekelwa family who came from Silobela in search for greener pastures for their cattle.

The stream and dam called Totololo in Silobela area is 64 km southwest of Totororo Primary School.

'Klein' is a German word meaning short, little, insignificant or petty,[3] and 'Buffel'(s) is a type of grass used in South Africa for pasture and forage.

When the Mathe-Mbalekelwa people settled in Zhombe East along the Munyati River they named this tributary Totololo because of the kind of pastures that grow along it.

Its main source of enrollment is Totororo Primary School which is just 100 metres east.

Apart from English, Mathematics, a vernacular language and General Paper, the school offers other non-examinable subjects such as Art and Craft, House Economics, Music, Sports and Physical Education.

[12] Shona language is the favorite here because of the inspiration by one of Zimbabwe's leading Shona-novelists, Morgan Mahanya who lives only about a kilometre northwest of the school.
