The delegation’s leader was Kgosi Keaboka Kgamane, who in April 1950 had reluctantly agreed to serve under the British as “Senior Tribal Representative” following the couple’s banishment.

Keaboka was accompanied by five others, being: Peto Sekgoma, who had spearheaded support for Seretse, Kobe Baitswe, the Headman of Seleka village who further represented Letswapong, Moutlwatsi Mpotokwane from Tonota who served as the Supervisor of Gammangwato schools, Mongwaketse Mathangwane, representing the North-East, and Gaothobogwe Leposo, the Headman of Mmadinare. The delegation was joined by Seretse’s South African lawyer Percy Fraenkel.
