The groundwork for Swaneng was laid in 1962, shortly after Van Rensburg, already a prominent Anti-Apartheid figure took up permanent residence in the then Bechuanaland Protectorate. At the end of the year, he and his wife Elizabeth along with community supporters received permission to start a secondary school in Serowe.
