High Court stays Goo-Tau installation

In a dispute over the position of Kgosi of Goo-Tau, Judge William Moncho ordered that the implementation of a judgment issued on December 12, 2025, be suspended pending the determination of an application for leave to appeal. In a ruling delivered on March 18, 2026, the court further interdicted the respondents from acting on the judgment, including taking steps to fill the position currently held by the applicant, Maele Morena Maele.

The applicant, Maele, had approached the court on an urgent basis seeking to halt the enforcement of the December ruling, which had set aside his removal from office.
