Kgari refuses questions at Kgotla

Kgosi Kgari Sechele III of the Bakwena refused to field questions or entertain comments yesterday after he informed the tribe at Kgotla of the death of his deputy Oletile Makgasane.

After the short death notification, the gathering was told no comments or questions will be entertained, as the meeting was solely an address on the Sunday accident, which claimed the life of the deputy chief. The meeting was poorly attended with many prominent Bakwena royals absent.

Kgari called on his people to unite and work together as a dark cloud is hanging over their chieftaincy once more. He told Bakwena that it is unfortunate Makgasane who recently assumed role of deputy chief had to leave so early. "I have called you today to let you know that Kgosi Makgasane whom I recently appointed deputy is no more, it is unfortunate that I just worked with him very briefly," he lamented.
