Legal opinion divided over Kgafela de-recognition

Kgafela yesterday confirmed in a letter he published in a Sunday weekly that some of his royal uncles have been invited by the Minister of Local Government today, where possibly his successor could be announced.

A source close to the court case in which Kgafela is being prosecuted for a wide range of criminal matters involving flogging of people, and destruction of the Mascom tower, said the minister is well within his powers to strip the Bakgatla leader of bogosi.
