Each family had its own kraal and the old kraals had an underground storage cellar to store maize. There were no toilets of any kind. The village was almost self-sufficient. Some families has Singer sewing machines and gramophones. There were no telephones or electricity. The Mimosa tree is very common in the area and was used as a fencing material. There was a primary school in the village which took children up to standard 5. There were three teachers. When Sibeko started the school did not have its own building, but a school made of two rondavels was built with money raised in the village while he was there, and the buildings were still standing in 1990, though no longer used as a classroom.
