Bakwena unite to rebuild kgotla shelter

Operating under the banner, Mosalagae the 20-member team brings together expertise from culture, heritage, history, business, management, architecture and design. The initiative is led by chairperson, Stephen Mogotsi, who says the project is both a cultural duty and a unifying call for the Bakwena community.

Leobo, a sacred council house and focal point for traditional governance, was gutted during unrest in the village when an angry mob set it ablaze amid protests over a reported disappearance of several residents. Its destruction left a significant cultural void at the heart of kgotla ya Bakwena.
