Manyana is a village located in the Southern District of Botswana. It had 3,550 inhabitants at the 2011 census. Dr David Livingstone had a missionary school under the London Missionary Society (LMS). A tree that was used as a classroom is still alive at Motlhatseng. The name of that tree is Motlhatsa. There are rock paintings done by the Bushmen, and also a cave called Mma-Sechele.
Manyana has a perennial river called Kolobeng, which starts at Jwetle, goes through Ramoshage dam, and then divides the village into two parts. It goes through Ramotlhabeng heading to Mmankgodi, then connects Metsimotlhabe River at Kumakwane village.
DIMAWE HILL: This was a battlefield of numerous tribes fighting the Boers. It was around 1885 when the pregnant wife of Kgosi Sechele was taken from the battlefield to the cafe at the rock paintings, and that cafe is known as Mmasechele cafe.
After defeating the Boers at Dimawe, the collaborating tribes moved separately to different areas of Botswana. Bangwaketse moved to the west, Bakwena to the North West, etc, while Bahurutshe remained there. They were coerced to move to the Kolobeng River because of the water.
