Mpapatla Bakhoma Modjadji says Mathole Motshekga had turned Princess Masalanabo against the royal family and used the 15-year-old as a fundraising tool.
Johannesburg – The regent of the Balobedu queenship in Limpopo has accused ANC national executive committee member Mathole Motshekga of trying to hijack the dynasty by indoctrinating the heir to the throne and running a parallel head kraal.
“I have no legal authority to give custody of the minor queen to anyone as she was placed in my care by the order of court. Anyone who wants custody must approach the children’s court and I shall abide by the decision of the court,” he said. Motshekga, who was appointed legal advisor by Mpapatla’s grandmother, Queen Mokope V, in 1996, claims he resigned to focus on his parliamentary work.
He added that the ANC top brass also established a close relationship between the young princess and Julia Mabale, whose family fell out with the Modjadjis many years ago over queenship disputes. “It is absurd to suggest that I am plotting to take over the Modjadji queenship of Balobedu royal nation of the Modjadji dynasty.
Motshekga insisted that his plea for intervention from Mathabatha and former Limpopo Cogta MEC Jerry Ndou fell on deaf ears.
