The Balobedu of Modjadji migrated to South Africa from Zimbabwe and have lived in their present domain for about 400 years. They are renowned throughout Africa for their female rulers, and it is traditionally accepted that their queen has the power to produce rain. The rain queen Modjadji remains to this day the focal point and source of strength of the kingdom. We are in conversation with Cultural advisor, Masutang Rasekele on the legacy of king Mugodo who was adamant in eliminating the symbolic power of patriarchy and remapping our understanding of gender dynamics and how he instituted an exclusively matrilineal line of succession.
