Chief Seshego Sekororo, 66, died after a short illness on Saturday. According to his brother Steve Mahlo, the chief died at his home in GaSekororo village near Hoedspruit.
Contralesa chair in Limpopo, Chief Malesela Dikgale, who worked closely with Sekororo, described his death as a great loss to the traditional leaders fraternity.
"Kgoshi Sekororo was not only a kgoshi , but a community leader admired by many. You had to sit with him to admire his wisdom accompanied by wit," Mathabatha said "He refused to be addressed as a chief, he said he was of the royal blood and he should be called a royal leader. He would not allow any speaker in a meeting to address one of us as chief, he would correct you before you proceed with a speech," Moloto said.
