Limpopo Premier Stanley Mathabatha has been criticised by a court for showing favouritism to relatives of his ANC comrade and MP Joseph Maswanganyi in 2020, when he recognised them as a traditional community and issued a certificate to Maswanganyi as senior traditional leader.
Mkhacani Hlaneki and the Hlaneki Traditional Council approached the Polokwane High Court to review and set aside the commission’s decision. Polokwane High Court Judge Gerrit Muller duly issued an order on November 10 setting aside Mathabatha’s decision to recognise the Maswanganyi traditional community and Khayizeni Maswanganyi as senior traditional leader.Nevertheless, Mathabatha went ahead and issued a certificate of recognition to Maswanganyi.
Muller said the commission had said nothing about recognition of the Maswanganyi traditional community.“The premier was well aware of the pending review application, where the applicants sought to set aside the proceedings of the commission.
It was not required of the commission to determine the territorial area of the Maswanganyi. It was required of the commission to enquire about the existence of the senior traditional leadership of the Maswanganyi
