**Mmankgodi** is a village in [Kweneng District](/source/Kweneng_District) of [Botswana](/source/Botswana). It is located 35 km from [Gaborone](/source/Gaborone) and around 30 km from the border with [South Africa](/source/South_Africa). The population of Mmankgodi was 6,802 in 2011 census.[1]

The people of Mmankgodi are called the Bahurutshe, a group also found in the village of Manyana. They arrived in the region from South Africa throughout the eighteenth century because of Boer oppression, which led to the [Battle of Dimawe](/source/Battle_of_Dimawe) in 1852. The tribal chief of Mmankgodi is Kgosi Thobega , and, as is customary in Botswana, the salutation 'kgosi' is the title used before the chief's name.
