Seleka keeps independence in Tumasera boundary ruling :: Mmegi Online

The Minister of Local Government and Traditional Affairs, Ketlhalefile Motshegwa, has resolved a long-standing dispute over village boundaries in the Tumasera area, ruling that Seleka would continue to exist as a separate village whilst the customary administration of Tumasera will now comprise Tupya, Malete, and Rasesa.

Motshegwa took a decisive step to bring clarity and unity to the communities involved during a meeting that was held on August 15, 2025, where he met with residents of Seleka, Tupya, Malete, and Rasesa to listen to their concerns. The discussions were prompted by the desire of some communities to stand as independent villages, a request that had sparked debates and uncertainty for several years.

By engaging directly with the residents, the minister demonstrated a commitment to participatory governance, ensuring that any decisions made would reflect both legal precedents and the developmental needs of the area. During the consultations, Motshegwa said he paid close attention to the population figures of the villages in question.
