Tough times ahead for Bakwena royalty

Either he should have thought twice before making the substitution or Makgasane should have done the same before accepting the offer. If there is truth in what some Bakwena royals are saying, then Kgari has a hard time awaiting him.

This week a Bakwena royal, who preferred anonymity, said that this time Kgari would be under enormous pressure to call the royal family to discuss who should be his deputy. This, he said, would clear Kgari of being controlled by politicians. According to the source, the possible successors are Kgosikwena Sebele, Kgosimotse Sebele or Keineetse Sebele. However, Kgosikwena is automatically disqualified because he is serving a five-year sentence for stock theft.
