THE BASOTHO CLANS.
BAPHUTHI
The Baphuthi, who came from Mabholane(Bahalang), were a branch of Matsitsi clan. They left the Matsitsi after a dispute over an eland and after about 200 years they settled at Thaba Tsoeu. Baphuthi settled at Qiloane where they intermarried with Bafokeng ba Ntomane ea Mahlaku.
They also interacted with Bakuena Ba Ha Monaheng. Eventually they settled at Matsatseng where they encountered Motlejoa’s cannibals dominating the area. Mokuane the chief ordered his warriors not to kill the cannibals, instead they should hand them over to him.
He ordered them them to turn away from cannibalisim and to eat meat from cattle and wild animals like his people. Mokuane’s son Moorosi succeeded his father as chief. He became a great friend of King Moshoeshoe 1 and fought many wars on this side.
