Kgatleng Dumps Controversial Burial By-laws

The by-laws which have divided the regional leadership, council, tribal authorities and other stakeholders have not gone down well with Bakgatla and their tribal leaders in general most of whom claim that the by-laws will in the long run cause conflict with Sekgatla and affect the practice of their culture.

The by-laws, gazetted on March 4, 2016 according to the council were passed in 2008 after extensive consultation, a claim refuted by the tribal administration authorities who argue that the consultation was not satisfactory.
