Ramonkung Mpihleng, Molomo Ntwampe and Setswiki Matabata from Sekhukhuneland, Lydenburg District, [Northern Transvaal, now Limpopo Province],were said to be supporters of Motodi Ntwampe. Motodi Ntwampe was allegedly involved in a succession dispute following the death of a sub-Chief in Sekhukhuneland, with his campaign being championed by “leftist” supporters. Ntwampe also apparently accused the acting chief,Diphale Ntwampe,of accepting Bantu Administration (BA) without the approval of the community and of threatening her with death and causing her to flee to the mountains.
