Morris Ranoto was banished on19 January 1955 from Matlala's Location, Pietersburg District, [Northern] Transvaal, [now Polokwane, Limpopo Province] to Natives Reserve 7B, Lower Umfolozi District, Natal [now KwaZulu-Natal].
He survived on support from family and friends and “became a recluse” after Frans Ramaro’s death.
His partner, Mngabo Ranoto, said that after he was asked to report at the police station he was seen on a train in Pietersburg. She did not know where he had been banished until a letter arrived a year later.
