Bakgatla-Ba-Kgafela Traditional Administration call for intervention

In 2016, the then North West Premier, Supra Mahumapelo constituted the Maluleke Commission on Bogosi of Bakgatla-Ba-Kgafela and the administration of Morafe.

The Royal Family, Dikgosana and Traditional Council challenged the Terms of Reference of the commission because they were broadly vague.

The struggle to engage with Premier Mahumapelo continued even after Prof Job Mokgoro was appointed as the new Premier of the North West Province. Premier Job Mokgoro also ignored calls for the terms of reference to be properly clarified. His refusal to clarify terms of reference has resulted in the findings and recommendation which are grossly irrational, contradictory, unlawful and unconstitutional as announced by him (the Premier) through media on the 26th of August 2019 without the decency of consulting Kgosi, the Royal Family, Traditional Council, and Dikgosana.
