MANYANA: The Bahurutshe-boo-Manyana here finally triumphed by stubbornly draping their chief, Kgosi Kebinatshwene Mosielele with a leopard skin despite strong objections from their Bangwaketse overlords.

The ceremony was held on Saturday at the village Kgotla, but not before being marred by controversies, especially with regard to the draping of the kgosi with a leopard skin. Despite threats of non-recognition by the Bangwaketse, the Bahurutshe of Manyana went ahead to drape their Kgosi with a leopard skin. Filled with happiness, the Bahurutshe could not hide their joy during the entire event. Residents were certain that it was Kgosi Mosielele’s birthright to be draped with a leopard skin, something believed to have inherited from his late father, Kgosi Mareko Mosielele.

However, the Bangwaketse feel that Mosielele’s wearing of a leopard and lion hides is a direct challenge to the authority of Bangwaketse chief, Kgosi Malope II, who presides over the entire territory, including Manyana.

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