Ratholo bogosi crisis persists

The feud on who should be crowned the village’s headman started after the death of Kgosi Molefhe Mangadi in 2013. After his death, the village did not have a leader for five years until Ditshotlo was appointed last month.

In an interview with Mmegi, Samuel Olaotse who is the Direkileng family spokesperson said the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development’s decision to crown Ditshotlo as their leader, turning a blind eye on the three nominees that the villagers chose to be the village’s leader, aggrieved the villagers.
