Illiteracy knocks out Jamataka chief

JAMATAKA: A huge pall of sadness descended on the village of Jamataka on Wednesday after reports that the beloved Kgosi Gaebolae Goitseone cannot be promoted to headman of records. The chief’s undoing, which means his Kgotla will not be upgraded is that he is illiterate. The chief never went to school nor tried Thuto Gae Golelwe (adult literacy classes).

So when Kgosi Sediegeng Kgamane, the Bangwato regent was in Jamataka, he was made aware of Goitseone’s deficiencies. Kgamane declared that the villagers, who are predominantly Basarwa, would have to choose someone else for the position.

Confusion reigned supreme at the Kgotla as murmuring residents tried to protest the announcement. In response, Kgamane said Jamataka residents have long pleaded for their Kgotla to be upgraded from arbitration to records.
