ConCourthears about

Bapedikingship

On Tuesday 26 August 2014 at 10h00 the Constitutional Courtheard an application for leave to appeal against a judgment of theSupreme Court of Appeal concerning the validity of the decisiontaken by the Commissioner of Traditional Leadership Disputes andClaims (the first respondent) regarding the Bapedi Kingship.

The dispute was between the Mampuru royal family and theSekhukhune royal family. Having considered the evidence before it,the Commissioner ruled that the Mampuru royal family had lost thekingship 150 years ago to the Sekhukhune royal family in 1861.Instead of taking the challenge of Sekhukhune, to fight for thekingship, Mampuru II fled and sought refuge from another traditionalcommunity. He later returned and killed Sekhukhune I but did notascend the throne. The Commissioner, therefore, determined thatthe kingship resorts in the lineage of Sekhukhune I.

The Mamone Royal House (the applicant) unsuccessfullybrought an application under the Promotion of Administrative JusticeAct to review the Commissioner’s decision. in the High Courtarguing that it was irrational and based on an incorrect application ofthe rule that kingship could be usurped through “might andbloodshed”. The Mamone Royal House’s appeal to the SupremeCourt of Appeal was also not successful.

In this Court the Mamone Royal House persists with itscontention that the Commissioner acted irrationally, failed to takerelevant facts into account and deviated from the principle ofprimogeniture by which succession to traditional leadership isestablished.

The Commissioner argues that the customary law rule ofusurpation through might and bloodshed was established andapplied rationally in determining where the Bapedi kingship lay.

The court reserved judgment.

Steve Ramaila is your friendlypharmacist at Pharmacy at Spar.

Take care ofsprains and

strains

Your body is made up of many parts, but your ligamentsand tendons surround the joints of the body. When a jointgets twisted beyond normal, the tendons and ligamentsbecome stretched and may even tear slightly. The bodyresponds to this injury by releasing chemicals in the areacausing swelling. This can also occur when the musclesare damaged.Common treatments for sprains include rest, ice, compres-sion and elevation. Limit the use of your injured body part.Initially apply ice to the injury. Ice should not be left longerthan 20 minutes at a time and can be used several times aday. Use a bandage to wrap around the injury. Don’t wrapit too tightly. This well help prevent too much swelling. El-evate the injury above your heart when possible. This willalso assist with the prevention of swelling.Your local pharmacy stock a variety of bandages and cool-ing ointments that can be applied to a sprain. Ask yourfriendly pharmacisit for the best options available.
