Radisele residents 'shoot' Serogola's messenger

The first signs pointing to possible simmering tensions in the future unfolded on Friday when Kgosi Tshipe Tshipe of Mahalapye landed in Radisele to deliver the message from Acting Bagammangwato regent, Kgosi Serogola Seretse, sparking discontent amongst the crowd that gathered at Radisele Kgotla.

The announcement by Kgosi Tshipe, who was accompanied by Kgosi Lebang of Palapye, left a bitter taste in the mouths of many Radisele residents. Many felt that the decision to elevate Pilikwe to a higher status village over theirs was unreasonable and without cause.
