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
