Magareng ga mengwaga ye 18 go ya go ye 20, bafsa ba kgoro ba ya go "sekolo sa lebollo" seo se netefatšago go feta ga bona go fihla bogolong. Go keteka tiragalo ye basadi ba tsošološa ka go tlala ka gare le ka ntle ga dintlo tša bona ka go lokišetša legopo la kgomo le di-pigment tša tlhago. Le ge go le bjalo, go na le dipitša tše di šweu tša go swana le tše di šweu tše di šumilwego.
