History

Ganyesa is the main town of the Barolong boo Mariba, a faction of the Barolong that split from the Kuruman community in about 1765 under Kgosi-Kgolo Mochware and lived as pastoralists and hunters. In the late 19th century, competition with Kora traders for the Kalahari trade led to friction between the communities.[2] After the British established the British Bechuanaland colony in 1886, Ganyesa was designated as a native reserve, with an area that in the late 1950s was estimated as capital homeland of Barolong bo Mariba, under Kgosi Letlhogile. It was later that Kgosi-Kgolo Mochware made the strongest form of Barolong boo Mariba and His descendants were 1.Makgobi(Makgobistad-Phitsane)

2.Gaetsalwe(Ganyesa;Leporung;Lobatse)

3.Pheko(Ghanzi)

4.Selepile(Madiakgame; Austrey)

5.Borupile(Kikahela)

KgosiKgolo Mochware reigned for a period of time [1765-1887] and later on his descendants of his other branch took over who is Kgosi Kgotlakoma Mochware and made a significant role in the administration of Barolong boo Mariba Boo “Ganyesa – Wikipedia” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganyesa#/editor/1
