Kgosi Ramono’s disciplinary hearing in 2 weeks’ time
Meantime Bogosi jwa Rasesa dispute to be finalised on February 29th
Adisciplinary hearing to determine whether the suspension of Kgosi Ramono Pilane Linchwe of BaKgatla Ba Kgafela in Moruleng by Kgosikgolo Kgafela II, is valid, will be convened in two weeks’ time or so.
A Spokesperson for Kgosikgolo
Kgafela, Morena Phalafala Maname told Botswana Guardian Wednesday evening that indeed it is true that Ramono has been suspended from his duties as Kgosi by Kgosikgolo Kgafela II. According to Manage, Kgosikgolo
Kgafela delivered the notice of suspension last week Tuesday to dikgosana.
“He didn’t get into details of the suspension but highlighted that Kgosi Ramono is still Kgosi and he is still in possession of the certificate of bogosi
pending the final decision after Kgosi
Ramono’s hearing”.
Regarding allegations that Kgosi
Ramono is suspended in connection with accusations of embezzling funds, Maname said it would not be proper to respond to allegations that were not mentioned by Kgosikgolo.
“It is safe and enough to report only what was said by Kgosikgolo,” the Royal Spokesperson said. However, Maname added that the only reason he can confirm is that Ramono’s conduct in handling some affairs “was not satisfying and needed an intervention hence the suspension”.
He said other allegations will only be
a lie as they are unfounded.
“It’s a suspension after all it’s not like he is fired. It’s just a self- correction step which is done internally by Bogosi for the benefit of Morafe and Bogosi.
“Kgosi Ramono will answer for himself at a disciplinary hearing and then the decision will be taken after that,” he said.
Maimane emphasised that Kgosikgolo Kgafela is a fair leader and as a ‘ legal- minded’ Royal, he must have diligently considered all the allegations laid against Ramono before he decided to suspend him.
He said Kgabo is doing his duties for the benefit of Bogosi and Morafe in order to safely secure the future of BaKgatla Ba Kgafela against the current forces of destiny and pirates – an euphemism for the government systems and artificial persons who constantly hurl the arrows of lies and death at the natural leaders.
This latest development has certainly rattled BaKgatla out of the temporary lull occasioned by the imminent opening of the Leobo La Kgotla in Mochudi, Botswana and the successive court losses that Kgafela’s nemesis, Molefe Nyalala Pilane suffered lately at the hands of Kgosi Ramono. However, time will tell! Meantime, here at home Motshwarelela Kgosi of BaKgatla ba Kgafela in Botswana, Kgosi Bana Sekai will convene a Kgotla meeting in Rasesa on the 29th February 2024 to announce the decision of that Bogosi jwa Rasesa dispute between Kagiso Buisanyang and Letshwenyo Rasesa. This follows the internal consultations called by Kgosi Sekai between the members of Rasesa family tree composed of Ramphaleng, Kgwarapi and Buisanyang, and Letshwenyo’s Rasesa’s family tree on Friday 23rd February 2024.
