Bakgatla reject Presidential Commission

Giving their views at a Commission of Inquiry into the review of the Constitution of Botswana in a Kgotla meeting on Wednesday in Mochudi, Bakgatla were adamant about their dissatisfaction with the fact that Kgosi Kgafela II was regarded as deranged when he first pushed for the review in 2010.

Amongst other concerns from the tribe was that dikgosi are powerless as a result of the current Constitution. One of Mochudi residents, Kabelo Mooketsi said they do not agree with the Constitution and therefore believe it is for ‘swindlers’.
