South-East District

The South-East District is an administrative region near Gaborone that blends urban settlements with farming areas and several smaller towns. The district includes communities like Ramotswa and Tlokweng that serve as local hubs for residents and travelers passing through.

The district was created during Botswana's administrative reform when the country reorganized its governance structure into multiple regions. This reorganization aimed to improve service delivery and local administration across the country.

Local communities in the South-East District maintain traditional practices through regular gatherings, markets, and ceremonies centered around Ramotswa, the district capital.

The district is accessible through major roads connecting Gaborone to other parts of the country, making it easy to travel through or visit. Government offices and local services are based in Ramotswa and Tlokweng, which helps visitors find what they need.
