Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Bapedi Royal Family is set to appeal a Polokwane High Court judgment, which declared the Queen Mother, Manyaku Thulare, had been illegally appointed as regent.<\/p>\n

Moroamohube Ernest Tseke, who claims to be the rightful heir to the throne, after the death of King Thulare III, had approached the court.<\/p>\n

Tseke is the son of the late King Sekhukhune III, who had also been deposed following numerous court battles.<\/p>\n

Judge President Ephraim Makgoba found the appointment of the Queen Mother was unlawful.<\/p>\n

But a spokesperson for the Royal Family, Ntoampe Mampuru, said the appointment of the Queen Mother was done in the presence of government officials in March 2021 to “ensure continuity, stability and the smooth running of the affairs of the Kingdom of the Bapedi Nation”.<\/p>\n

“The Royal Family categorically disputes the status of Moroamohube Ernest Tseke and his sibling’s claim of belonging to the Thulare Royal Family for the fact that their mother was never married to the late King Sekhukhune III.<\/p>\n

“This unfortunate development and concerted efforts by greedy forces will not be left unchallenged, even if it means all the way to the highest court in the land because it will set a dangerous precedent in the institution of traditional leadership in the Republic of South Africa,” said Mampuru.<\/p>\n
