The banishment of Alfred Mamagale Tebeila, Mamogase Sebei, Mashilo Tseke Nchabeleng, and Kgalabotwane Tseke from Sekhukhuneland, Lydenburg District, Transvaal [Limpopo Province] was motivated on the grounds that they were ‘weerbarstiges’ (rebels) who were opposed to BA [Bantu Administration], and interfering in the ‘smooth running of tribal affairs.’ It was noted that the chief transferred them to the authority of another chief but that they refused to move; the chief then burned down some of their huts in order to ‘help them move.’ The act of burning down a hut was justified as 'tribal practice.' A High Court interdict was obtained against the chief.
Tebeila was banished to Ardath Farm No. Ku.C.O. 5-33, Kuruman District, [Northern] Cape, [now North West Province] on 16 June 1965.
According to a Human Rights Welfare Committee Minute dated 31 Oct 1969, Alfred Mamagale Tebeila was allowed to go home.
All the banishment orders were withdrawn in 1973.
