Selebi Phikwe

Once upon a time Selebi and Phikwe were different places, each on a different side of an undiscovered mineral deposit in northeastern Botswana. When the area's mineral wealth was discovered a township arose in the woodland between the two places, and it took the name Selebi-Phikwe.

As the area is a mining town, it's hardly a tourist attraction, except insofar as it has the dubious honour of having had (and perhaps having still) the longest cable-belt system in the southern hemisphere.
