Bakgaka – Ba – Mothapo Traditional Council v Tshepo Mathule Mothapo and Others (926/2018) [2019] ZASCA 130 (30 September 2019)

Customary law – locus standi – whether a Traditional Council established in
terms of customary law had locus standi to institute action on behalf of the Bakgaka – Ba
– Mothapo Traditional Community – whether the submission of insufficient number of men
or women appointed as councillors to the Premier’s office justified the Court a quo
ordering that the appellant had no locus standi – whether Kgoshigadi had the locus standi
even though she derived authority to institute action from a resolution passed by
Traditional Council.
