GOBABIS – Bahute booMokhatu, a Setswana group, has accused the Kgosiemang Royal House of not honoring an agreement made before Chief Andrew Kgosiemang’s inauguration as the leader of the Batswana ba Namibia Traditional Authority. During a press conference, the Bahute clan claimed the agreement involved changing the name of the Batswana ba Namibia, as it was misleading and not representative of all Batswana in Namibia.
According to Namibia Press Agency (NAMPA), an agreement was signed acknowledging the Bahute tribe’s right to seek independent recognition and agreeing to rename the Batswana ba Namibia Traditional Authority. Despite reminders and a 90-day deadline post-inaguration, the Batswana ba Namibia Traditional Authority and Chief Kgosiemang have reportedly not fulfilled their obligations, leading to tensions and legal considerations within the Bahute tribe.
