The Naledi valley inhabitants were divided into
three groups; the first group was relocated in
1978 from Gatalamotho, where the Mine pit is
currently located, led by Kabelo Bagwasi and
settled at Sese Village. The Second group which
mostly comprised of Bakgatla-baga-Mmanaana
and Bangwaketse Agro Pastoral farmers around
the locality of the present Jwaneng town, were
moved to Naledi farms and cattle posts fifteen
kilometers(15km) from Jwaneng town. The last
group of hunters-gathers living in what was
called Jwaneng-wa-Motse or Jwana, the name
given to the small village eight (8) kilometers
North East of the new Jwaneng in order to draw
distinction between the village and the town was
settled at Betesankwe village in 1990.

established to lead the new town, occupying an
th
area of approximately 178.67sq. And on the 10
August 1984 through Statutory Instrument
Number 77 the second smallest Town Council
after Sowa Township Council was established.

and three (3) members nominated by the
Minister of Local Government and Lands. Mr.
Steven Sorinyana who was the First Mayor until
1984, while Mr.O, OPitso(Stanley Nyirenda) led
the Administrative wing as the Town Clerk.
Naming the Town
The Tswana word “Jwana” is derived from
“Lejwana” which means a small shining stone,
therefore it is implicit that the stones may have
been abundant or found at Jwana hill which is
located in the Naledi valley, five kilometers from
Jwaneng. The then village of Jwana will have
then be named after the hill, while Jwaneng is
translated as “a place shining of small stones”
and also adopted in order to draw distinction
between the village and the town.
