Constituency profile

Gabane-Mmankgodi was created ahead of the 2004 general election. It was first contested as Kweneng South East in the 2004 and 2009 general elections, before being renamed Gabane-Mmankgodi from the 2014 general election onwards.

The constituency lies west of Gaborone and is anchored by the villages of Gabane and Mmankgodi. It forms part of the peri-urban belt around the capital, combining settlements that are closely linked to the Greater Gaborone economy with more rural village localities further west. This mixed character has shaped both its administrative profile and its politics: the area contains commuter settlements, traditional village communities, and localities affected by the outward expansion of Gaborone, Mogoditshane and surrounding settlements.

The constituency has the following localities:

1. Gabane
2. Mmankgodi
3. Mmokolodi
4. Tloaneng
