Bakgatla royals in SA to defend Mochudi as headquarters

The Commission was appointed by Mahumapelo after disapproving the initial report by the Commission on the grounds that they did not consult Botswana-based Bakgatla to hear their side of the story.

Some of the Moruleng royal families want to cut ties with the Botswana-based Bakgatla and want to rule themselves without Botswana-based Bakgatla, while Botswana-based Bakgatla contend that Bakgatla chieftaincy has always been led and headquartered from Botswana and cannot change at the mere calls of disgruntled protestors.
