So they're technically Bahananwa of Maleboho whom themselves are a breakaway of Bangwato.

My SeTswana is weak but did he not say they are Not a breakaway of Bangwato?

​@@BM-dr4euthe Oldman is wrong, people from Maleboho are not Pedi, Bapedi are people from Sekhukhune, from Maleboho ke Bahananwa who broke away from Bangwato.

@@moemediseakamela6943shucks ok thanks. So baTswapong are not baPedi? And do you know what caused them to break away?

[@moemediseakamela6943]

@@BM-dr4eu turbulence in Limpopo, Bahananwa and Babirwa were fighting for territory, Bahananwa had the backing of boers. Amid the turbulence some sections of Hananwa left and broke away from Maleboho.
