BA GA MOHLALA IN SCHOONOORD HISTORY SOURCES AND RESEARCHERS
Our sources for our ongoing research on the history of Ba Ga Mohlala in Schoonoord
The main sources that we use in our ongoing researches on the history of Ba Ga Mohlala in Schoonoord are government official records, archival records, and oral evidence.
There are few archival records on the history on the history of Ba Ga Mohlala in general, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe.
There are also very few published documents (especially books and others forms of researched publications) on Ba Ga Mohlala in general, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe, and this is one of the principal motivations for the need to record the history of Ba Ga Mohlala in general, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe. Therefore, the bulk of secondary are the available general works of South African History, and most of such works deal scantily with the history of Ba Ga Mohlala, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe, that is because those general works mainly deal with South African tribes in general rather听 than Ba Ga Mohlala, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe in particular. As such those sources are used to contextualize the history of Ba Ga Mohlala, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe, and are mostly used to develop theorical framework.
Oral evidence forms an important part of our researches. That is because most of the history of clans, and tribes in South Africa, such as Ba Ga Mohlala, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe was not written and it is expected that very few written records do exist on their history. As a result, the few written records which are available are used in conjunction with oral evidence. Most importantly, the other sources which have been mentioned thus far are used to corroborate oral information, and vice versa. Thus, the combination of all these sources result in a more balanced and objective study of the history of Ba Ga Mohlala, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe.
Because oral information is one of the core sources of our studies in the history of Ba Ga Mohlala, Banareng, and Batlokwa Ba Lethebe, best practices in oral research are thoroughly听 followed in order to achieve the best possible outcome possible.
Like any other forms of collecting evidence, and as well as other sources of information, oral evidence has its own problem areas and some benefits, and there are also processes of dealing with those problem areas.
There are three main problem areas of oral history. Firstly, the limitations of the interviewee which include, unreliability of memory, deliberate falsification, unfairness through vindictiveness, excessive discretion, superficiality and gossip, oversimplification, distortion of interviewee's role, lack of perspective, distortion due to to personal feelings, self-consciousness, influence of hindsight, and repetition of published evidence.
Secondly, the interviewer has limitations which include, unrepresantative sampling, biased questioning, difference and bias towards the intreviews, and interviews as a replacement for reading documents. The third and last problem areas of oral is about the limitations inherent in the nature of intetviewing itself which include, misinterpretation of what the interviewee have said, inability of oral history to verified by others, interview transcripts missing the essence of the interview, impossibility of true communication, and dependence on survivors and those who agree to be interviewed.”

“We all belong to something bigger than our selfs.The Importance of history can be understood from the fact that it helps us to understand the present.
It provides incredible perspective for a number of reasons. People have largely neglected the power of history. With understanding of history, you know about the basic concepts and ideas. You there can learn about cause and effect, relationships and human nature. History helps us to create co-relation with event or action. It clarifies how things are related to each other. Ample knowledge of history let people to know about attitudes and feelings as resulting from an action.History is not merely a summation of previous events, but instead its purpose is to show reasons for why and how these events happened and give perspective to pain, breakthroughs, war, associated with them. It tells that how explorers reached out and started sharing culture.
By making us more cognizant of how we got to this point, it teaches us how to continue to approach things in manners that work and refrain from committing a mistake repeatedly.
History should help us learn lessons from our ancestors鈥� past mistakes and their achievements along with what they created.”

“Let us be proud of the history that made us.Ba ga Mohlala Platforms are created for everyone to benefit On participating in any form of development and nation building.
We have a world today that has destroyed much of its heritage through war or through neglect.
Our mobile society and fast pace world, with the immense prosperity we enjoy, has caused us to forget much of our heritage. We have used our time in meaningless pursuits. We have relegated our family history books, and our nation鈥檚 history books, to the corners of our library. We have watered down or forgotten altogether our traditions. We have sequestered the older generation to retirement communities and nursing facilities, and as they grow old and die 鈥� so does our heritage. Because more often than not, that generation failed to pass it on, while the next fails to retrieve it from them.”

“Unity is vision.Together and united we form a necessary paradox,not a senseless contradiction.Our Destiny is to unite in strengthening the Banareng creation to our best not to divide. We should build strength to avoid ending up like collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees.We have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of Banareng creation.It is also up to us to keep building bridges to bring other Nations closer together.
Remember鈥漌hen two brothers are busy fighting, an evil man can easily attack and rob their poor mother. Mankind should always stay united, standing shoulder to shoulder so evil can never cheat and divide them.”

“Most of our history, and most of all books on the origin of the Bapedi people, the political structure of the听 Bapedi people of Sekhukhuneland, and African studies in general were written by settlers.
The settlers gathered information not for the benefit of black people but for the white South African government to enable their government to come up with political and military strategies against black people or for social engineering of black nation in general.
So, given the politicized and racial environment in which all this white writers lived, how are we going to trust that their whiteness and institutional racism did not affected how they made sense of the information or data that they collected and how they recorded them, in order to fix tribes, clans, and black nation in general.”

“The mighty Mohlala Schoonoord polity has collapsed, vanished from the face of the earth. Its collapse was mainly due to internal strife and connflict, siblings turned on oneonother, most of them ended in exile, and only few of them stayed behind And the few that stayed behind lived like foreigesrs and slaves in the land of their forefathers.”

“The history of Ba Ga Mohlala in Schoonoord, most of it, is violent and written in blood. Many people were killed, and assassinated by their own people and also in tribal wars.
听
Ba Ga Mohlala in Schoonoord have not known peace, both internal, and external for centuries. Today they are split and divided than ever before and there are more hostilities between families. Most of this is because of their stubborn nature and the fact that they were warriors who affectionately loved war and spent most part of their lives as warriors. Segodi Sekgekge and his son Hlong Dinake spent their entire lives up to their old ages as warriors.
Dispite all the infighting and killings, no outside enemy can infiltrate Ba Ga Mohlala in in Schoonoord. They always had, still have unity of purpose. If one of them is attacked by an outside person or enemy, or they want to achieve something, they always, and will always put their differences apart and fight the enemy or execute a project together, united.”

“There are two groups of Batlokwa in South Africa
The first group is Batlokwa/Batlokwe Ba Ga Lethebe who was also known as Tlokwe. Tlokwe/Lethebe was a leader of the group that is referred to in the book 'Tja Magoshi le Dilete' who stole Matlala's cattle and fled to Mogodumo. It is this man that Batlowa Ba Lebowa (including the collective Banareng and Ba Ga Mohlala) were named after, he was the chief of Ba Ga Dikgale who (Ba Ga Dikgale) were at that time called Bakgaladi, and Lethebe later called himself Dikgale ( that was around the year 1800).
The second group is is Batlokwa/Batlokoa Ba Ga Kgwadi who was also called Motlokwa/Motlokoa ( this group include Batlokwa Ba Mantatise in Gaborone in Botswana, Batlokwa Ba Sekonyela in Lesotho, Batlokwa Ba Sebetwane in Zimbabwe, Batlokwa Ba Machaka and Matoks in Botlokwa in Limpopo, and all Batlokwa in Free State KZN and North West. Batlokwa Ba Machaka and Matoks arrived in Lebowa (Limpopo) from Harrismith around 1825/27 (they left Harrismith in 1820) and settled at the present day Botlokwa which was already called/named Botlowa after Batlokwa Ba Lethebe/Dikgale, they only arrived there after majority or most of us (Batlokwa Ba Lethebe/Dikgale) have left the area.听
The history of this group is well documented.
Kgwadi is the brother of among others, Diale gave birth to Bapedi of Maroteng Ga Sekhukhune (Mohlaletse and Mamone Ga Sekwati), and Mosia who gave birth to Moshweshwe of Lesotho (Bashweshwe).”

“I have read a lot of history books and gone through a lot of history materials. The amount of information and the way that information is presented in most of those books and materials, for starters, was overwhelming for an average person and a novice like me.
So in all my history books and writings, I have decided to present the information in such a way that it will be comprehensible (and in a simplified form) for ordinary and novice people. I decided to to do that because those (average and novice people) are a group of people I am writing for.”
