Sepedi Ethnography


Let’s explore the Pedi/ Sepedi ethnography. This involves taking a deep dive into the people, culture and customs.

Marriage

The family was patrilocal. Polygamy was most common among people of advancedespecially primarilyrankMarriages were preferred with a near or classificatory kinsmanparticularly a mama ’s family’s son, but this preference was generally realized in the case of ruling or primarily families.

It was used by the ruling dynasty during its time of powerrepresenting a system of political integration and control that reclaimed bridewealth.
kinsman marriage implies that the two sets of prospective in- laws were formerly linked, and it was accompanied by a belief in stock– relation, which stated that the Magadi( bridewealth) acquired for a son’s marriage would be employed to gain a bridegroom for her family, who would also repay his family by offering a son to her son in marriage.

kinsman marriage is still common, but it’s no longer as wide. Polygamy has come less frequent, and numerous marriages end in divorce or separation. A significant number of youthful women are unattached and raise their children in small( and constantly extremely poorwomanish– headed homes.
stillnew types of domestic cooperation have surfacedparticularly between sisters and sisters, or matrilineally linked cousins.


The oldest son of a polygamous family preliminarily inherited the house– property of his mama including its cattle, and was responsible for securing these goods for the benefit of the ménage’s other children. This has changed to a mode of last– born heritage, with land being the primary item passed on.
