The Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Slumber Tsogwane has roped in the Tlokweng and Kgatleng Land Boards to help him resolve the Batlokwa and Bakgatla chieftaincy feud.

Bakgatla and Batlokwa royals are battling each other over the Oodi chieftaincy, which is reported to have originally alternated between the two tribes following Batlokwa’s arrival in Oodi after fleeing tribal wars in Kweneng.

The issue is so serious that Batlokwa royals have reported the matter to Tsogwane to intervene as they believe that Kgosi Segale Linchwe is biased towards his Bakgatla tribe. Oodi village is a homeland for Batlokwa and Bakgatla.
