Ga-Sebotse, also known as Pinkie, is a large village in Ga-Matlala in the Blouberg Local Municipality of the Capricorn District Municipality of the Limpopo province of South Africa. It is located 73 km northwest of Polokwane and 37 km southwest of Senwabarwana.
An overwhelming majority of the villagers' ethnicity is African, with a small minority of South Asian shopowners and mixed-race offspring, mostly young children. The main language spoken is Northern Sotho (the Sepedi dialect). Xitsonga and Urdu are the two prominent minority languages. The dominant religion is Christianity, although it is currently facing challenges from the newly introduced religion of Islam.
There is a high rate of unemployment in Ga-Sebotse mainly due to the lack of infrastructure and the main urban centres of the province are located far away from the settlement. Another factor is that Aganang is a rural municipality. However, residents of the village are also set to benefit from the development of the Tibane Shopping Centre through employment opportunities. The new shopping centre will be located in Tibane, about 16 km southeast.[2] It is also expected that the crime rate will be reduced as the many unemployed youths of the settlement and surrounding areas are going to seek employment opportunities at the location.
There is no institution of higher learning in Ga-Sebotse. The majority of successful matriculants opt for the University of Limpopo's Turfloop Campus to further their studies, while others opt for universities based in Gauteng.
Although there has been a great deal of development since 1994, there is still much to be done in terms of service delivery. Electricity was first introduced in 2006 and piped running water became available in 2011. The road from Mamehlabe to Ga-Lamola (Rosenkrantz) was to be tarred in a project set for 2013 but failed to yield the much anticipated results. The constructed tarred road that was runs for a few kilometers and is of poor quality. Other infrastructure still needed in the village includes a post office, telecommunication towers, sports and recreation facilities.
Football (Soccer) is the most popular sport in Ga-Sebotse.There are three football clubs, which are:
Netball is most popular among teenage girls and young women. However, currently, the netball teams in the village are defunct. It is not clear as to what exactly led to this occurrence.
