Is King Lotlamoreng adulterating Bogosi?

One of the most interesting books I have read is authored by Diana Wylie tittled “A Little God, The Twilight of Patriarchy in a Southern African Chiefdom.”

Wylie in her book discusses Tshekedi Khama’s chieftaincy in a deep and authoritative manner.  In this book, Tshekedi is best described as a “sub-imperial ruler who centralised the power of his office and reduced the powers of headmen, including the chiefs of subject people who lived in the hinterland.”

Even though Tshekedi and his many peers enjoyed ruling their subjects by decree where they were only accountable to themselves, they still very much felt handicapped by the British imperialists. Their powers were tailored to a certain fashion and shape by their masters. This became the source of their frustrations. This is where the current crop of chiefs stands and this has become their primary propellant to the political seat.
