Government Rejects Bakgalagadi Recognition Appeal

Information before The Monitor reveals that a group of Bakgalagadi recently met with the minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Slumber Tsogwane to negotiate for recognition. The minister, who confirmed the visit, rejected their appeal on the basis that they had not convinced the people they were representing. Tsogwane told The Monitor that he sent the group back with the message that they should organise themselves first.

“I suggest you speak to them, I do not want to speak more on the issue as it is still in its infancy,” he said.
