Friday, August 12, 2011
B2 was the eldest son of Kgosi Seepapitso III and Mogatsakgari Ratshosa (granddaughter to Kgosi Kgama III). Kgosi Seepapitso III's two siblings from (Bathoen I's house) were Moaepitso (brother) and Ntebogan (sister). Kgosi Bathoen II's siblings were Mookami Gaseitsiwe and Mme Seyelo Gaseitsiwe. His father Seepapitso III was assassinated in the Kgotla in 1916 by Moeapitso who was later ordered to hang by their mother Mohumagadi Gagoangwe, daugher to Kgosi Sechele I.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
