In ancient times the Manthi were a pastoral people, led by tribal elders and a tribal chief, the eldest and most respected. In times of conflict the elders were often too old to go into battle, so appointed a war-leader, called a gahan. The gahan was often chief of the tribe's hunters, considered the bravest and fiercest warrior, who would organise the hunters and young men into a fighting force. The gahan could only make military decisions during the formal period of the conflict, which was usually only days or weeks.
