Tsakane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tsakane is a township south of Brakpan close to two other townships KwaThema and Duduza on the east Rand, Gauteng, South Africa. Nick name "E-Mashona".


[edit] History

Tsakane was founded in the late 70's when blacks residing a stone throw away from Brakpan were moved to a new designated area. The previous residential area is fondly known as "Old Location" by Tsakane residents. The township has grown since then to a point where it is difficult to tell where Tsakane ends and where Duduza and KwaThema begins.
