TikTok user @vlx._.f3fe has sparked intrigue with a video capturing a Bagwera outside a gate in Phalaborwa, Limpopo. The Bagwera, members of a traditional practice originating in Tzaneen, are individuals who attend initiation school twice before donning their distinct costumes. Known for performing in public to earn money, they also uphold strict cultural etiquette.

According to tradition, Bagwera must maintain a distance from their caretakers, known as Baditi, while walking, preserving the dignity of their role. This adherence to ancient customs often results in Bagwera chasing or reprimanding people they encounter on the streets.

So the person visible in that video is part of a group of people named Bagwera,they are from Tzaneen.They go to the initiation school twice in order to wear that costume,they entertain people in exchange of money and in most cases they can whip you if they found you on the streets.This is actually a culture which originated in Tzaneen but it is spreading across Limpopo
