retook up arms and formed what was known as 'Lakwena Part Two'. 'Lakwena Part Two' was less of a unified rebel movement, and more so a broad term encompassing many different rebel groups that operated under a spiritual medium. These mediums never engaged in physical combat, but were instead more influential in strategizing and creating the belief system of their armies. Beliefs Alice Lakwena felt she was connected to the spiritual world, and could become possessed by spirits.
