The role of a Rakgadi in South African families is a critical one. 'Rakgadi' - means paternal aunt. Rakgadi is there to guide family members every step of the way when it comes to following family customs and norms. The eldest aunt, culturally speaking, is supposed to be the one who resolves issues among siblings when they disagree. She is also the one who is closest to the parents and other key relatives in the family. Therefore, the relationship between Rakgadi and a woman who comes into the family as a new wife to one of Rakgadi's brothers is incredibly vital. In this interview we speak to Rakgadi Semali Moeti from the The Rakgadi Foundation.
