Tsakane is a township south of Brakpan close to two other townships KwaThema and Duduza on the East Rand, Gauteng, South Africa. Nickname "E-Mashona".
[edit] History
Tsakane was founded in the early 60's when black people living close to Brakpan were moved to a new designated area. The previous residential area is fondly known as "Old Location" by Tsakane residents. The township has grown since then to a point where it is difficult to tell where Tsakane ends and where Duduza and KwaThema begins.
[edit] Recently
In 2008 The township has grown in such a way that it recently opened a shopping mall called Tsakane Mall.
