Nominal R o l l of Jtetive Chiefs.
( Iff.A.Id.Min. 9/1.1928)
X have not replied to this minute
before now as X was collecting certain information from the
Chiefe in Sekukuniland when the circular was received, and I
hoped to complete same during say recent tax collecting tours.
Although not asked for in the Circular,
X am forwarding herewith a Table showing the relation by
marriage of various sub«ohlefs of different tribes in Sekukuniland with the f wmily of the Paramount Chief of the Bapedi,
Sekukuni XX*
This table goes to support the report
X have recently sent to you, under N a t i v e s Land question*1, that
all the various tribal remnants collected together and consoli­
dated into one tribe by the Bapedi Chiefs Sekeati and
3ekhukhuni I, are now considered.and in fact now are part of the
Bapedi Tribe.
Mot only have the chiefs intermarried
but for very many years the people of these tribes have also
freely intermarried with the Bapedi people in the same way*
until it has beoome difficult to sny now where the relationship
between them begins and ends.
The following are the more important
chiefs of the consolidated tribe of Bapedi. in their order
of preoedenoe,showing approximately the number of adult
tax-payers under each:Taxpayers

Y o u r Minute 856/2 0/745 of 2 6 tn October , 2 92 0:
I return a] 2 correspondence herewith as requested and at the same
time w i s h to point out that I a m finding it most difficult to
the natives pay the school fees, tnougu I hope eventual 2y to co2 2
enough for this term.
The objection t o the payment of school
fees for Kgolokoe
by his nominal followers is mainly upon grounds of tribal history.
Very few Lapedi in their hearts recognize Kgolokoe as tneir
Chief. Even
bow
I have known boys living in L a r i s a n e ’
s actual etad,
w hen paying tax on the Rand assert that Sekukuni is their Chief.
Young Kgolokoc is the son of Kgolane and the g r a ndson of the
old K g o lokoe who was aopointed rrgent during the present Sekukuni*s
m i n o r i t y and thus young Kgolokoe is really only the grandson of a
former regent and is only regarded as such by most.
The reason the Location was split in two was originally not
a quarrel as to wn o should be Chief, as S e k u k u n i ’
s chieftainship
was undisputed, but it was due to a quarrel as to who should be
regent for young Sekukuni during his m i n o r i t y ; some supporting
T horematjane *8 claim for tne regency and some Kgolane's .
P rom a tribal point of view, no m a t t e r who were regents,
w h e n Sekukuni arrived at his m a jority he should have taken over
and then become sole Chief.
The quarrel
over the regency c a u « * ^ tne division of the
Location, though m a n v | headmen *n Kr
il f onlil
recognized/
because
h i m as Chief to gain some temporary advantage or
they were forcedjfco, Even now the more powerful headman
namely Pasoane, Maserumule, Sefogole, Dihla k a n e n g etc m e r e l y
pretend to recognize young Kgol okoe because the Government makes
them do so,
Furthermore after K g o l a n e ’
s death young Kgol okoe was a m i n o r
and so his uncle Marisane became regent for him* M a r isane is a
man of w e a k character and an invalid and is not regarded as of
a n y account, even (as I have said above) by some of the ordinary
men of his own stad, muc h less b y the p a s sively resisting headmen.
Young Kgol okoe therefore has a most difficult task in front
of h i m and for man y years it will be n e c essary for the Government
to force
h i m down the throats of an unwilling following, and
he is at
all soft or w e a k the difficulty will be increased.
if
If therefore the Government intend to continue the present
div i s i o n of the Location w i t h K g o l o k o e as Chief 1 request ade q u a t e
powers other that persuasion to compel his people to pay for his
education*

In regard to youVconfidential letter about
the Chieftainship of Geluks Location I have to report
as
fellows;-1 think the
time has now arrived for
taking action w i t h a view to formally recognizing
Sekukuni as
v— >
chief over the whole tribe w i t h i n Qeluks
Lo c a t i o n w i t h young K g olokoe as a petty chief over his
ow n stad.
I have made ver y careful enquiries from
members of
^
b o t h sections of the tribe in the southern end of the
L o c a t i o n and find that there is a large concensus of
opinion in favour of Sekukuni.
The following is a list of all the chiefs and headme"
now nominally under Marlsane and they are divided
as
follows

Of the above H e a d m e n the most influential is Pasoane ,
following hi m in importance are Laseruruule, Sefogole
and £eopela.
The churches in th4s end of the Location are
not very
ntrong. The Bapedi Lutheran Church have three schools,
the W e s l e y a n three schools, Ethiopian two schools and y / T ^ j
the ] erlin Mission one school; of thesevthe B a p e d i ^ R i r c h
are in three of the stads
favourable to wiarisane
while all the others are in stads
favourable to
Sekukuni, the W e s l e y a n and B e r l i n Missions do not h o w ­
ever mix in polities.
Old M r W i n t e r is
head of the Bapedi Lutheran Church
w h i c h has branches in other parts of the Transvaal
though as I have shown above its followers are not
"
,
numerous inside Geluks Location.
Hr Winter has
been sounded in regard
to the chieftain-
shipand one d a y was in favour of the possible change
while on the next day he wrote ne a very long letter
strongly against it. He is now very old and seldom if
ever comes to the Location. He still looks on the
Bapedi as a b l oodthirsty people, forgetting that the
times have changed sinee his days of activity. I thifik
the possible reason for his two
Pirotly:
opinions wer e as folio
He was against Marie&ne because he was in­
fluenced b y his native school teacher in H a r i s a n e ’
s st
who had some slight quarrel w i t h the chief*and
he changed in
a day and became opposed to Sekukuni
b e cause a native
is the
seoond
living on a Company fa r m fo r w h i c h h
Agent wanted to give a tiger skin to Sekukuni
of presenting it to him.
o r B e r l i n M i s s i o n s , but in a n y case neither Mr
Wi n t e r * ® opinion nor their*a are of great w e i g h t a s
the vast m a jority of these people ar e heathen.
I have also sounded Mr W. Schroder who f o r m a n y years
traded in this end of the Location and is still living

Pokwani side.
He is
a well-informed aatf fair-minded man and he is pro b a b l y
more in touoh w i t h
current feeling than any' other
p r ivate white resident in the neighbourhood.
In the old days he was friendly w i t h old Kgolokoe,
Pasoane, Ramoroko and all the chiefs and
still is
w a s tnen and
well known and trusted b y them. His o p i n i o n "
is that Cekukuni should have b e e n made ohief wherT"jae
reached his majority and he says he several times
asked KT Abel Erasmus w h y this was not done and always
received the reply that politics required that the trib
should be divided.
He knows that the people will never

to uniting the Location under Sekukuni.

feelings of the
farmers as they live rather far away.

The days have gone whe n

It is moat difficult to carry on as

at
wi t h nearly all the people in the southern
end of the Location ignoring their chief who is feeble

and unsatisfactory state of affairs will continue so
