About the rite
In Bakgatla ba Kgafela Bojale, girls live together for a period and receive instruction through teaching, song, and dance about adult life. At a public completion they return to the community, receive a group name, and enter the standing described as bosadi, adult womanhood.
The name Bojale is also used by Balete communities, where it refers to a separate local tradition.
