Sechele I met David Livingstone in 1847 and helped start a mission. He learned to read and taught his wives the Bible. In 1848, he divorced some wives to be baptized. Sechele sent gunpowder to his uncle as a peace offering, because as a Christian he should not live in disharmony with his own family and to reunite the whole tribe, the uncle who thought it was evil magic burned it to cleanse it of evil.
