Balete people GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      The Balete people are a Southern African ethnic group.
      In Botswana they have occupied a permanent territory since around 1780, officially recognized as a tribal reserve in 1909.
      They are the only one of eight major tribes that do not belong to the related Tswana people. They still have a traditional King, or Kgosikgolo. Balete are settled in Southern Botswana villages that include Ramotswa, Gabane, Otse, Metsimotlhabe, Mogobane and Modipane.

      September 1, 2012 saw the beginning of a new era for the Balete tribe, as it revived its dormant tradition of male initiation, Bogwera, under the guidance of its first ever female Paramount Chief Mosadi Seboko. Among initiates were five councilors from the South East District Council – two from the Botswana Congress Party, another two from the ruling Botswana Democratic party and one from the Botswana Movement for Democracy. The naming of the new regiment ‘Matsosa ngwao’ (Cultural revivers) by Kgosi Seboko coincided with the annual national cultural day celebrations. The event attracted members of the diplomatic corps from Mozambique, Nigeria, the United States of America, the UK and the Chinese Women's Association.
