FRANCISTOWN: The Bangwato royal family may find themselves battling out in court with the Sebina royal family putting an end to the Sebina village bogosi dispute. It is alleged that the BB1 Kgotla bogosi dispute has erupted again, as its chieftainship contract will be coming to an end next month.

The BB1 Kgotla in Sebina village belongs to Bangwato tribe from Serowe as they (Bangwato chiefs) built it decades ago before the country gained independence as their resting place on their way from Serowe to Nswazwi during their battle with the Bakalanga ba-ka Nswazwi.

Later on, the Bangwato handed over this kgotla to eight villages of Marobela, Nshakazhogwe, Marapong, Kombani and Sebina named Ma-nsha-ma-ko-se (Manshamakose) to benefit from this kgotla’s chieftainship.
