Kgabo II was kgosi of the Kwena tribe. He was born a junior son of the Bakwena kgosi Tebele. Tebele was succeeded by Kgabo's older brother Mogopa, and Kgabo was given control of a ward within the tribe. Following a drought, Mogopa wished to move the tribe to find rain, but Kgabo and his village did not accompany them.[1] The Bakwena split into two separate groups: the Bakwena-Kgabo staying in Rathatheng, and the Bakwena-Mogopa that settled in Mabjanamatshwana.[2][1][3]
Kgabo may have been the kgosi who lead the Bakwena from Rathatheng into present-day Botswana, but this could also have been his son and successor Motshodi.[2][4] According to Isaac Schapera, Kgabo was succeeded by Motshodi c. 1740.[1] According to history professor Leonard Ngcongco, Kgabo and Motshodi lived in the seventeenth century.[5]
