Gauteng is a smallest province in South Africa.
It has drawn all the South African races and tribes It has pulled out also the Southern African
population and some Northern African countries.
The Bhacas in Gauteng like all other tribes stayed:
-united.
-helped each other.
-Revived their culture.
-Connected with their origins.
-married to the people who came from their original place or at least the people who shared their values.
-United
They were usually found in groups.
Their main aim was to protect themselves.They used to arm with sticks which they learner from their "StickSport" at home.
-helped each other
It started in the early 1950's.Those early groups
used to help their fellow Bhacas at Mt.Frere to access Jobs at Gauteng.Those odd jobs like picking the Toilet buckets.That job was hated by the other tribes.
-Revive their culture
Their culture was
-unity.
-A Man must protect his family, physically and financially.
-When they are together they used to roast the Beef, Chicken and Mutton.
-stayed connected with their origins.
Each member would serve as a link with Gauteng and Mt.Frere.They usually send

the parents and the children.
When the tribal members visit and return to Gauteng,he would report about the situation at Mt.Frere which were the stocks, families and the weather in general.
