Just a month after Kgosi Kgafela Kgafela II announced his intentions to return to Botswana and announced his son as the leader of Bakgatla Ba Kgafela in Moruleng, South Africa, the North West Premier has appointed Nyalala Pilane as Kgosi.

The comment in question did not offer a policy critique or question a political decision.It...
