Ramotswa's main industry is a wheat flour mill. The village also manufactures metal products.

It is the tribal capital of the BaLete, an ethnic majority springing from the Nguni tribe. Kgosi Mosadi Seboko of Ramotswa is the first woman to serve as a paramount chief in Botswana.

Her presence in the house of chiefs was hailed as a victory for women's rights in southern Africa.
