Bahurutshe take government to court on their bogosi :: Mmegi Online

The Bahurutshe boo-Manyana have filed a case against government before the High Court, challenging the constitutionality of government policy in handling issues relating to the practice of their culture and traditions.

This follows the dispute that arose between the Bahurutshe boo-Manyana and government back in August when government confiscated leopard and lion skins that were to drape Kgosi Kebinatshwene I on the eve of his inauguration.

In their statutory notice on intentions to sue, the Bahurutshe pointed out that on August 29, 2017 the government through the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, communicated that on the authority of the Tribal Territories Act (TTA) Kebinatshwene cannot practice the traditions, culture and norms and be draped with a leopard skin because he lives in the Bangwaketse tribal area.
