Villagers unhappy as Masogo takes over

When announcing Motshidisi’s replacement to the assistant chief of Bangwato tribe, Kgosi Serogola Seretse, on Friday, Olebile noted that the Palapye chieftaincy is not inherited. He said therefore they followed the Bogosi Act, which allows the village chief, and those close to him to select a name of someone they feel is suitable.

However, the decision made by Olebile and his advisors seemed to have saddened Palapye residents as the majority of them complained that they were not consulted.
