Grace Masuku (70) is the matriarch of the Bakgatla tribe in the Pilanesberg. She was worried that the tribe's traditions and heritage would be forgotten by the younger generations, so she took a leap into the information age in order to preserve them. She made a documentary video for her 18 great-grandchildren. From Nkoko... with love was screened on SABC2. With filmmaker Karin Slater's help, Grace discusses the tribe's traditions on birth, marriage, motherhood, age and death.
