MMADINARE: The community here is furious and disgruntled with a Bamangwato Tribal Authority’s decision to bring back Phokontsi Seeletso as the acting chief.

Members of the community that thronged a Kgotla meeting addressed by Kgosi Mokhutshwane Sekgoma on Tuesday rejected the decision to appoint Seeletso to continue acting in the position until October next year when the rightful heir assumes his seat.

Seeletso retired in 2014 as Mmadinare Kgosi to give way to the rightful heir, Mphoeng Mphoeng, who is still pursuing his studies. However, a fortnight ago, Mmadinare tribal leadership was summoned to Serowe where they were informed of the decision taken by Bamangwato Regent, Kgosi Sediegeng Kgamane, that Seeletso is to continue acting until next year. Their main concern is that Seeletso had not worked well with them for all the years he was leading them and they wondered why Kgosi Maureen Mphoeng, who is a Mmadinare resident, could not be appointed to fill the vacancy.
