Some of the Bataung based in the Free State were some among those who made up the army under King Moshoeshoe during the Free State–Basotho Wars with white settlers (thanks to the valiant Bataung ba ha Ramathe, Moshoeshoe defeated white settlers in battle). The entire Free State province, parts of Kwazulu-Natal, Gauteng and the Eastern Cape actually belong to as a matter of historical fact. The Bataung tribe modern day are found in all South African nations. They have clans in the Sepedi, Setswana, Sesotho and Nguni nations (en)
