Selebi-Phikwe - City of Botswana

Selebi-Phikwe (also spelt Selibe Phikwe) is a mining town located in the north-east of Botswana. Originally there were two tiny places called Selebi and Phikwe, which straddled a large undiscovered deposit of copper and nickel in the area. When the mineral wealth of the area was discovered in the 1960s a mine and township was built in the woodland between the places with the combined name of Selebi-Phikwe.

Selebi-Phikwe itself has a shopping centre, a hotel and a small airport.
