She came to power as the regent for her son, Sekonyela, (Lentsha) following the death of her husband Kgosi Mokotjo (the previous kgosi). Mmanthatisi was known as a strong, brave and capable leader, both in times of peace and war. She was referred to by her followers as Mosesanyane (the tiny one) because of her slender body.
