The most isolated clan in Kembata province is tanners shekla seriwoch (fuga), this clan cannot participate in any socio-economic activities with kembata. Kembata people can never marry tanners (fuga) clan. Kambata is one of the most densely populated regions in Ethiopia. The Kambata pride themselves as one of the best educated in the country. Due to over population and lack economic opportunities in their region, they migrate to large cities, industrial areas and large plantation farms. In recent years they experienced large influx of migration to South Africa and Middle Eastern countries.
