Our Stakeholders









BATAU BA SELOANE COMMUNITY IS LOCATED 220 KM NORTHEAST OF PRETORIA AND 82 KM SOUTH OF POLOKWANE.
Batau Ba Seloane, the esteemed custodians, oversee a cluster of five villages: Malatane, Byldrift, Mmotwaneng, Kgwaripe, and Klipheuwel. These settlements bear the legacy of Seloane, one of the sons of King Matlebjane II of the Batau Tribe. We’re part of the Lepelle Nkumpi Municipality, which belongs to the Capricorn District Municipality. Our history is embedded in the foundation of these villages, reflecting a rich heritage passed down through generations.
