“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. 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.”
