Morago ga go goroga ga bone baTawana, bontsi jwa baYei ba ne ba simolola go tsewa jaaka batlhanka, lefa ntswa ko tshimologolong go ne gotswa mo mothong gosa patelediwe ka gobo gone go tlisa tshireletsego kana pabalesego ee rileng go itsanye kana go dirisana le malwapa aa nang le itsholelo ee rileng. Ka ngwaga wa sekete , makgolo a robabongwe, masome a robabongwe le bobedi (1992), morafe wa baYei one o tsewa jaaka morafe yo o ikemetseng ka nosi mme morago ba akaretswe kafa tlase ga boiteledipele jwa Mafwe.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mafwe_people&action=edit&redlink=1 Setilo sa bone sa bogosi se ko metlaganeng ya Sangwali mo kgaolwaneng ya botlhophi ya Judea Lyaboloma mo Zambezi.

Ga a tsenelele thata mo lefatshe kwa ntle ga go romela maru le dkgadima nako nngwe. BaYei gape ke batho baba bitsang badimo. Dijalo tse di mosola thata mo morafeng wa Bayeyi ke mabele le motsoko. Mmidi le dipotata le tsone di lengwa thata bogolo jang ke ba ba nnang kafa kgaolong ya Ngamiland.
