Missing or unaccounted for tribal billions

Bakgatla ba Kgafela factions still fighting as North West government’s intervention effort is met with fierce resistance

The provincial government wants to place an administrator to take over the Bakgatla ba Kgafela tribal administration but Chief Nyalala Pilane is refusing to relinquish the reins. The two Bakgatla ba Kgafela groups found themselves straddling the border when it was established, resulting in Kgosi Kgolo being in Botswana and the other members in South Africa.

Community members in the Moruleng village want the Bakgatla ba Kgafela dispute resolved.

Pilane said the community had benefited from the developments, including the Moruleng Mall about 65km north of Rustenburg, a dual road that cuts through the rural area, the sprawling Bakgatla ba Kgafela office complex and the R170 million stadium in the village.THE COMMISSION’S FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

It said: “[Of all] the members of the traditional council, Kgosi Pilane has chosen to involve only Kagiso Pilane, his nephew, in matters pertaining to commercial transactions with third parties.” Asked what would happen if Pilane rejected the administrator, Ngesi said: “[Tjie] has generally assumed all the administrative responsibilities and powers of the Bakgatla ba Kgafela Traditional Council.“He is empowered by section 32 [of the Constitution] to institute legal proceedings against any party should a need arise.”
