Basarwa petition Bangwato over chieftainship

Friday, October 23, 2015

A tribal war has erupted between Basarwa and Bangwato in Nata village following the vacation of a chieftaincy seat by the village chief, Mokgwatsi Makgesi, a Mongwato who was elected to power 27 years ago.

Basarwa have written a strongly-worded letter to Bangwato regent, Kgosi Sediegeng Kgamane, expressing their feelings. Nata is in the Central District under Bangwato Tribal Authority.

The letter dated October 8, 2015 passed to Mmegi says “we note that at the end of September 2015, the Chief of Nata resigned due to ill-health thus making that position vacant.”
