Sebele I was a chief (kgosi) of the Kwena —a major Tswana tribe (morafe) in modern-day Botswana— who ruled from 1892 until his death in 1911.[4] During his lifetime, he resisted control of his domains by Cecil Rhodes' British South African Company, which was administering, by a royal charter signed in October 1889, his homeland in the Bechuanaland Protectorate and other regions of Central Africa.[5]
With support from Christian missionaries, Sebele traveled to Britain in 1895 along with Bathoen I and Khama III to protest a new attempt to incorporate the protectorate into Cape Colony and secured support from Queen Victoria in exchange for an eastern strip of territory.[6] Between 1908 and 1909 he also resisted the incorporation of Bechuanaland into the Union of South Africa.[5]
