The Orphan And The Ants Part 20 � The Rod Of Moleta

We left off with the Barolong booRatshidi fleeing to the Batlhaping of Kgosi Mahura following their stout but failed defence against the Amandebele at Khunwana.

During their retreat the Barolong were harassed by brigands under Mahura’s renegade brother Kenakamorwa, who made off with the remaining BooRatshidi cattle in the process killing Tawana’s eldest son Tlala. Although Mahura welcomed Tawana, condemning Kenakamorwa as an outlaw, the BooRatshidi decided to press on, joining kgosi Moroka’s Barolong beeSeleka at Thaba Nchu. There they were also soon joined by Barolong booRatlou under Gontse.

With the Barolong routed the Amandebele Nkosi, set out to subordinate the other merafe along his western border, beginning with the Bangwaketse of Kgosi Sebego, who like the Barolong had also earned the Tautona’s wrath by executing his tribute collectors.
