The younger Makololo, who have been accustomed from their infancy to lord it over the conquered Makalaka, have unfortunately no desire to imitate the agricultural tastes of their fathers, and expect their subjects to perform all the manual labor.

They are the aristocracy of the country, and once possessed almost unlimited power over their vassals.

Their privileges were, however, much abridged by Sebituane himself.
I have already mentioned that the tribes which Sebituane subjected in this great country pass by the general name of Makalaka.

The Makololo were composed of a great number of other tribes, as well as of these central negroes.

The nucleus of the whole were Basuto, who came with Sebituane from a comparatively cold and hilly region in the south.
