SA Pressure Group Calls For Kgafela II's Removal

Pilane’s derecognition was a direct result of a campaign that Kgafela II had waged for a long time, after a conflict between the two started when he (Kgafela II) questioned Pilane’s handling of tribal finances.

Now, a group referred to as Bana Ba Bakgatla have written a letter to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to derecognise Kgafela II and his royal family’s chieftaincy over Bakgatla in Moruleng and instruct the North West Province premier to reinstate Kgosi Pilane.
