Temba is a town in City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Temba is located in the greater Hammanskraal area which includes Mahube and Mathibestad. Tswana speaking people have lived in the area known as Temba from the 1700s. In the mid 18th century, Amandebele-a-Moletlane settled in the area known as Leeuwkraal 396 among groups of Tswana-speaking people. The main patriarchs of this Ndebele clan were the Kekana confederacy. The Kekana clan remains the dominant Ndebele authority over the Leeuwkraal Area in Hammanskraal, but the Tswana-speaking people of the area primarily form part of the Bakgatla and the Bakwena groups. The arrival of Europeans in the late 19th century created demarcated traditional area's with tribal foundations. The Land Act of 1913 also limited the expansion of the area.
