Bakgatla songs thrill multitudes

Numbering close to 2,000, the initiates and their relatives marched in a single file from Molapong, just behind a hill next to the Deborah Memorial Hospital (DMH),.  The initiates were geared in cultural attire; a coat made from animal hide and wooden rods decorated with white ostritch feathers.

After waiting for the procession from 7am, it was not until around 8:30am that the procession appeared, and hundreds of tourists lined up the road from DMH to the Kgotla, as some cheered on their relatives in the procession.
