The Commission on Traditional
Leadership Disputes and Claims in the North West Province released a report
today recommending Mr Mmuthi Pilane to be appointed the rightful traditional
leader of Motlhabe village.
The report, dated 24th
November 2015 was handed-out today to the Bakgatla-ba-Kgafela Royal Council,
made up of the five clans of Kgamanyane, Tshomankane, Mantrisi, Mzilikasi and
Kautlwale.
‘Everyone was expecting the
Premier to close this matter today in terms of the Court order. They now say
January 2016… we shall be patient’, said Mmuthi Pilane.
The North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo
is now in contempt of two separate North West High Court orders, each compelling
him to make final determinations concerning leadership disputes and claims from
the two tribes of Bakgatla-ba-Kgafela and Bapo-ba-Mogale.
Indications are that Mr Merafe
Pilane is now set to replace Mr Nyalala Pilane as the Bakgatla-ba-Kgafela tribal
chief. Merafe’s claim is uncontested and the majority of the Royal families are
in support of the claim.
‘We are deeply concerned about
the delay since Nyalala has long submitted his resignation letter to the then
Premier Thandi Modise’ said a member of the tribe.
