Kgafela II Wins Again

This follows after the North West High Court in Mafikeng, South Africa ordered Pilane to hand over assets of the mineral-rich Bakgatla ba Kgafela to interim Kgosi Ramono Pilane Linchwe, appointed by the provincial government.

Last Thursday, the court granted an order in favour of North West Premier Job Mokgoro and Kgosi Linchwe against Molefe John Pilane. The premier and the interim Kgosi had taken Pilane to court after he refused to hand over the assets of the tribe.This followed last month’s report by Mokgoro at the Traditional Claims and Disputes Commission, which recommended Linchwe to hold the fort for the next six months.
