How would I use a South migration to load data into Django's auth_group table?

Question

I have some new groups that I'd like to add to Django's "auth_group" table and I'd prefer to use South to "migrate" that data into the database. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what steps I should take to create the migration file and then have it load my fixture.

Any thoughts?

The South docs have a section about fixtures that includes this sample:

def forwards(self, orm):
    from django.core.management import call_command
    call_command("loaddata", "my_fixture.json")
