A Mafikeng Court order that barred Kgosi Kgafela II from proceeding to install his preferred ruler in Moruleng seems to have done little to dent his morale or his intention as he proceeded to present his chosen man with a royal fly whisk, a symbol of royal authority, to cheers of approval from the crowd, at Lesetlheng, outside Moruleng, the same place where he was to instal his prefered choice of Bakgatla ba Kgafela in Moruleng’s ruler.

Those who graced the heavily attended Lesetlheng event in fact are convinced Kgafela II may have achieved everything that the Mafikeng Court denied him at the Saturday tribal meeting.

While Kgafela was barred from proceeding with his planned installation of Mpule Pheto as the chief, he seemed to have achieved exactly that after he presented Mpule with a royal seditse (fly-whisk), a symbolism that was met with loud cheers from the attending crowd.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
