About 100 KwaBhaca villagers on Thursday protested outside the Great Place of their traditional leader, Nkosi Madzikane II Thandisizwe Diko, demanding that he reopen a major road he reportedly closed.
Madzikane claims to be the “king” of the AmaBhaca, but this is disputed and his claim is not recognisedCommunity leader Maliviwe Ngubelana claimed that Diko had closed the access road connecting to four villages from town. Ngubelana said: “He closed the road for safety reasons because it's near his royal place. What about the thousands of residents who are struggling to travel to their homes from town?
“Residents were arrested when they complained to the police. Thandisizwe must reopen the access road and withdraw the cases.”“He lied when he said he is a king ... he is just an ordinary chief,” Ngubelana said.This is a developing story.
