One of the most popular and famous traditional folklore songs in Botswana originally named "Bakgomohi" but popularly called "Go ka tweng" due to the lyrics.
The lead singer is Ms.Gaotswesepe Robalang from Mmashoro village near Serowe who lived from 1923 to 2010, the origin of the song is not clearly known because the lady heard it from the elders (Bagolo) when she grew up.
Even nowadays, this song is still very often played on sundays on the local radio show called "Dipina le Maboko" between 9 and 10am.
More info and translations to follow shortly, enjoy.

I never understood these Rich BaMmangwato History until I tried writing down these lyrics, bam! the Lioness gives the honest truth - E e masi ga e itsale, Unlike their father, bana baga Khama its like they never had people (morafe) at heart, first Tshekedi threw some out of their village and second Botswana almost lost its diamonds! -connect the dots ANYWAY ITS MY BELIEVE THAT THESE SONG CAN BE USED IN LITERATURE AND HISTORY LOOKING AT ITS COMPOSITION! Check TLOU(? Moanelwa mogolo- kwaaks!- what is these Elephant in the room guys)

Mme kana Tshekedi cared about his morahe. These guys were not the only people to be from from serowe to form a village elsewhere. The reason why Tshekedi did these was to mark the Gammangwato territory. Mmadinare, Bobonong, Tonota and elsewhere. Tshekedi did a lot for Bangwato, building schools such as Moeng college and establishing serowe as the trade center.

This song reminds me of those years, my father would travel to Rhodesia just to buy the latest radio and a record player, I love it so much, this is a treasure indeed, by the way the lyrics are deep and cannot easily be understood, someone must document the history told in this song, it's rich and deep.

Beautiful piece indeed! I just like the artistic display here. She plays with the voice in a very interesting way. If she was still alive, i would pay her a special visit and ask her to sing it for me❤ I think all of us here who are touched by this beautiful piece could come together and contribute towards a prize in her name that could be awarded to the best Setswana student in Std 7 in her village? Or something in those lines????
