What kept Bhaca Tribe Together?

Every village had  meetings on Saturday  or Sundays.In those meeting the "state of
the Village  was discussed,be village problems,prosperity and the future vision.

Problems which were discussed.
The Elders of the village would  like to get the opinons of their daily  livelihood  like
Stockgrowing and the experienced,
successful  person  would  be called  so that the household could learn.He will be 
asked some intriguing  questions.

The Boys in their different levels would discuss common issues from Home duties,Stock behaviour,Hunting in some cases fishing,herbal and how to travel to manhood including what makes a good
young man not disgrace his family the
Village and even his friends.Not to rape.
How to Persevere when you are proposing
Love to a girl.

The Girls had their own gathering too.They
discussed  how to please their mothers and senior sisters and junior sisters  too.
The channel  of communication was from
Senior Sister to Mother  to the Father or
Mother to Father.If its necessary  she will be called by her mother  to the father.
The family especially  the mother  will  be pleased if she is commited to "feminine"
duties like waking early in the mornig like
sweeping the yard,fetching and boiling water.Depending the age of the girl,she must be found in the company of boys.Even the older girls must meet "secretly" at the river or at the  at 5 to 10 meters apart.The girls did the artwork on their clothes.

Next time, I shall discuss  about Bhaca Women and Tribal Council and what lessons can we learn from this Tribe found in Eastern Cape,Mt.Frere KwaBhaca

Money is not everything

With Bhacas money is not everything in contrast to the rest of us, there are those who worship mooney.Too much adhering to money brings the following:: -stress -inferior complex -lies -useless anxiety -syndrome of hatred -Not taking  care of other People How do the Bhacas alleviate from stress? 1.The Bhacas don't think too much  about money instead they are concern about health. They support their  health through vegetables,milk. 2.Inferior complex To avoid inferior complex does not need lot of money or always think about money. Acceptance  of other people does not diminish anyone. Lies Lies are the greatest destroyer of any family. Money is the greatest "fertilizer"  of lies and misrepresentation of facts.
