The losses brought about by gain

Diamonds enabled the poverty of the past to be partly shed and great wealth to be spread throughout large swathes of society. The past was laid to rest and with it many societal norms.

Headmen, key figures of the past, appear to have disappeared with many now being styled kgosi. Having been abandoned for reasons which eludes me, Dikgafela has been resurrected as a means of artificially show casing the culture of the past.  The rondavel is very much an endangered species.
