They didn't. Bantus enjoyed protection among some hawiye and rahanweyn clans, they weren't officially considered part of the qabil. Italians probably didn't fully understand this but even colonial sources talk about somali clans having "clients". These people were not necessarily slaves but they enjoyed some protection against other somali clans if attackedA lot of the clans that look madow allowed their slaves to claim the qabil.
