In the traditional African worldview, deceased ancestors continue to be present and are actively included in the daily life of individuals and tribes.

In order to appease Badimo or render them propitious, one should make offerings of beer, sheep or goats.

They aid people in health and can determine whether or not a person remains healthy or not with their presence.

There were many cases of young boys who were kidnapped and returned, knowing the full Badimo language.

During these rituals, traditional beer is brewed and a beast is killed, cooked, and taken to the hills where the Badimo are hidden, the place is called Badimong or Difokeng.
