The Bapedi royal family in Mohlaletsi village in Limpopo has appointed Prince Morwamohube Thulare as the acting King.
This comes after some members of the royal family and council won their application, which opposed the appointment of the Queen Mother Manyaku as the regent.
Morwamohube Thulare replaces King Thulare Victor Thulare the third who died due to COVID-19 related complications in January last year.
The royal family’s spokesperson Makoko Sekhukhune says, “After the passing of His Majesty King Victor Thulare III on the 6th of January 2021. Then it was decided at the meeting convened by the Thulare Royal family that Prince Morwamohube Thulare be identified as an acting king of the Bapedi Nation. Secondly, a candlelight wife will be married and Prince Morwamohube will serve as a seed raiser. The memorandum has been returned to the Premier’s office in request of the Certificate of Recognition. Currently, Prince Morwamohube Thulare is the acting King of the Bapedi Nation.”
