esulting in the assassination in 1950 of Kgoši Joel Morwatsebe Matlala
by Ma-Congress/the Congress men (ANC members), as they accused
him, among other things of pursuing unpopular land reforms in line with
the White man’s laws 471 .
In some farms, non-buyers succumbed and left because they were not
prepared to challenge the White man’s authority which they viewed as
ruthless 472 . From Norma, Early Dawn and Millstream, most families and
clans of Setumu, Ramoroka, Ngwepe and Mojela, left and went to settle
in Ga Seleka on the trust lands, for instance 473 . From Disseldorp and
Ketting, most non-buyers of the families and clans of Phukubje, Ngwepe
and Moremi, moved and settled on the nearby Harrietswish farm 474 .
However, some of the non-buyers in those mentioned farms, did not
move, especially those who were strong enough to resist, particularly
those who were feared by communities, such as magicians, traditional
healers and sangomas. Some did not move as they were so destitute
that they did not have any means to start a new life somewhere 475 .
