Blending traditions for political purposes

In 1925, the young Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, toured large parts of  Africa, including a number of countries of Southern Africa.

In preparation for his visit to Serowe, Sekgoma evidently went to enormous lengths and expense to provide  appropriate dress for some of the mephato,or age groups, and their leaders. Maybe the Serowe Museum can provide us with information as to how he contrived to find a supplier capable of providing everything that he required.
