Prince Lekukela Modjadji, the first-born son of the late Rain Queen Makobo Modjadji VI, has openly criticized President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to recognize his sister, Princess Masalanabo Modjadji, as the rightful heir to the throne of the Balobedu nation.

Speaking to the media at Khethagoni outside Modjadjiskool in Limpopo, Prince Lekukela, a practicing lawyer, expressed dismay over the government’s handling of the decision. He accused Ramaphosa of failing to consult with the royal family and the regent, Prince Mpapatla Modjadji, before making the announcement.

“It is unfortunate that the government did not see it fit to conduct proper and thorough engagements with myself and the royal family prior to publicizing such a decision,” said Prince Lekukela.

The prince further stated that the royal family and council were blindsided by the announcement, learning about the decision through social media platforms. He emphasized that the government’s approach disregarded traditional customs and the formal communication sent by the royal family in April 2021, outlining their preferred succession plan.

“I, along with the royal family, am disappointed in the manner in which the government has overlooked our customs and traditions in identifying an heir to my mother’s throne,” he said.

The Balobedu royal succession has been a contentious issue since the passing of Queen Makobo Modjadji VI in 2005, as questions of tradition, gender roles, and modern governance intersect in determining the leadership of the nation.

The recognition of Princess Masalanabo as queen marks a significant moment in South African history, as she would become one of the youngest traditional leaders in the country. However, this decision has reignited debate within the Balobedu royal family over the process and respect for their cultural practices.

The presidency has yet to respond to Prince Lekukela’s comments. Meanwhile, traditional leadership experts have called for a resolution that honors both the royal customs and the government’s recognition of traditional institutions.

As tensions rise, the Balobedu nation and its royal family remain divided on the path forward, with hopes that a peaceful and culturally respectful resolution can be achieved.
