The Executive Mayor of Capricorn District Municipality, Cllr Mamedupi Teffo, joined government representatives, traditional leaders, dignitaries and community members at Ga-Molepo on Saturday, 24 October 2026, to pay their final respects to the late Kgoshi Molepo, who was laid to rest.
The passing of Kgoshi Molepo marks a loss to the institution of traditional leadership and the communities under his traditional authority. As a traditional leader, his role extended beyond the royal household, encompassing the preservation of cultural heritage, promotion of social cohesion and participation in community development initiatives.
The late Kgoshi Molepo also served as a member of the Capricorn District Makgoshi’s Forum, an important platform through which traditional leaders engage with government on matters affecting their communities. The forum strengthens collaboration between traditional authorities and municipalities, particularly on service delivery, rural development and community priorities.
His contribution to the institution of traditional leadership underscores the important relationship between government and traditional authorities in advancing the development of communities across the district.
On behalf of Council, Management and the people of Capricorn District Municipality, Cllr Teffo conveyed heartfelt condolences to the Molepo Royal Family, fellow traditional leaders, relatives and the entire Ga-Molepo community during this difficult time.
May his family and the community find strength and comfort in the memories and legacy he leaves behind.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Re šoma le Setšhaba!
