SEBINA: Residents of Sebina have expressed a deep desire to exit Bangwato hegemony and chart their own path without having to be servants in their own village. The villagers poured out their frustrations during the recent inauguration ceremony of their new headman of records for BB1 Kgotla.

The residents said that they are tired of being ‘colonised’ by the Bangwato royals to the extent that they do not have a Kgotla manned by a headman of records like other villages. About 5,000 people attended the event, but the villagers hardly ululated seemingly in protest to the fact that the new chief was not going to lead them.  Only murmurs could be heard.

The new chief, Shathani Mokoka, was filling a post that fell vacant following the expiry of Bonyongo Masalila’s contract  mid-last year.
