The people in these villages belong to Batau tribe and consider themselves as one blood and are related through a deep long entrenched social history that is traced from Eswatini.

From mainline Swazi, Batau settled at Wakkerstroom and then Seokodibeng around 1624, at a place that is now called Lake Chrissie.

The greatest need in the area is lack of political intervention - intellectual and entrepreneurial development of the people of Byldrift.

There is hardly any industrial area - as a result a lot of the youth are spread all over Gauteng and only come back home during events and ceremonies such as funerals, weddings and holidays.

Nevertheless the people of Byldrift are proud of their heritage and rich history as Batau and Limpopo even though they live in other areas mostly Gauteng and some even in the United States of America.
