“As you know, Seshego was named after Kgosi Seshego, who is the forefather of our King Kgosi Kgabo Moloto III,” Mpe told the media.
“There is a view from the Royal House that let’s name it after Kgosi Seshego. We will undertake the process; go to the council and public participation like other renaming of facilities that we are busy with. So it will go through that particular process,” he added.
“We don’t want to lose history while our traditional authorities are still here to help us. Our children must know the history. As long as the lions cannot write their one history, history will always be told by the hunters.”
