Mamatlatjo Maake was the 11th wife of Popela. She is 97 years old [in 1997]. She came to Popela after she was married in 1918 and has lived there ever since. She says she wants to remain at Popela so that she can be buried next to her husband.
“The Popela community lived under this system of labor tenancy until 1969. At that time the community was told that they could no longer plow land for themselves. The white owners told some of the people that new government rules said they could no longer plow at all. The new rules were codified in the Black Laws Amendment Act, passed in 1964.” [read newsletter]
