The solution they worked out - a cooperative, economic one - soon attracted a large number of other villagers. Together they became the Bantu Society. Economic success and interaction within the group also made them generally aware of the social underdevelopment of their families, and this led to a wide range of socio-economic activities which now comprise a closely-integrated village development programme.
