 The village is named after the Tsetsebjwe hill, and lies at the foot of this hill.Tradition holds that the village was settled from Gobojango, and used to be a cattle post called Mokgojwe, which took its name from a perennial spring.Two brothers called Motshabi and Motshegwa were given the duty of patrolling the border with the South African Republic to prevent wild Boers from poaching game.
