Mongala’s rule is otherwise remembered for his tragic demise as a result of an outbreak of war between the Bangwaketse and their Bakgwatheng (or Bakgwatlheng) vassals, who sought to reassert their own independence under Tau’s son Mabeleng and grandson Seeiso.

Following an altercation between Seeiso and Mongala’s son Moleta, Mabeleng led the Bakgwatheng to a place known as Kgaloong-loo-Tau, near Segeng.
