Dinokana is a town in Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality in the North West province of South Africa. The area became the main town of the baHurutshe in 1849, when Kgosi Moiloa I settled it with about 1,500 people, who had been displaced following the Difaqane. Moiloa was accompanied by the Reverend Walter Inglis of the London Missionary Society. In 1875, a succession dispute in the aftermath of Moiloa's death led to the displacement of many BaHurutshe, and nearly half of the population moved to Gopane.
