How Nyalala and Kgafela lost

History indicates that Kgamanyane’s son, Ramono Kgamanyane Pilane, who is referred to as Ramono I was the first Kgosi of the tribe in Moruleng. That is why the eldest son of Ramono I, Tidimane Ramono’s (claimant’s father) was inaugurated in 1949. That has unleashed a powerful blow to Pilane as he does not come from the first house.

Bakgatla-ba-Kgafela archives state that Nyalala Pilane has remained a regent after been appointed by the Kgosi Linchwe II. He however stuck to his guns to resist transition when he was supposed to handover to elder brother.
