The demise of the Ciskeian General Council or Bunga in 1955 was followed by the implementation of the Bantu Authorities Act (1951) and the reinforcement of patriarchal control. This political restructuring was linked to ongoing changes in gender power relations and was partly an attempt to contain them. Vast opportunities were offered to collaborating men by a Bantu Affairs Department seeking a measure of consensus for its new‐style indirect rule. Concomitantly, militant chiefs and fiery African nationalists were removed and replaced by those who saw some gain in adopting an ethnic stance and a reinforcement of patriarchal authority
