In 1870-71 the BagaMmanaana were divided by a bogosi dispute when Pilane claimed the throne from his ailing biological, but not in the eyes of his supporters customary, father Kgosi Mosielele.
Sebego’s potential path to bogosi was then blocked by Tshosa’s underage heirs Gaseitsiwe and Ralekoko, as well as the still absent Segotshane.
