Lehasa II, Kgosi Lehasa II born Matholela Moloi, (born 19 August 1979) is the 6th Kgosikgolo, of Makgolokwe-a-Mafehleng clan, who came from Makholokoe a breakaway Tribe of Bakgatla known as Kholokoe tribe.[1] Makgolokwe-a-Mafehleng are found in Lekwa region where Free State, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and North West Provinces of South Africa meet.
Biography[edit]
Kgosikgolo Lehasa II[2] ascended to the throne in 2015 after the regency of his Grandmother. He has five siblings: a sister and four brothers.
Since his ascendance to the throne, he has been pushing efforts to unite the Kholokoe tribe that have been dispersed and its history wiped by the government during colonial times and worked hard to restore culture. The Kholokoe are part of Bakgatla of the Great King Tabane[3] who gave birth to Bakgatla ba Mutsha, Bakgatla ba Mmakau, Bapedi, Makholokoe, Batlokoa, Baphuthing, Basia and Bavhenda. They are one of the tribes who were dispossessed of their land and treated with the most contempt by the colonial government. The splitting of the Kholokoe tribe came from numerous battles both within and waged against them by others, the Makgolokwe-A-Mafehleng clan broke away from the main tribe after the battle with the Nhlapo people in 1821 where King Polane and his son Selotolotsa (son from the senior house) were killed.,[4] Sebobane (son of Selotolotsa) was taken into hiding in Heidelberg[5] where he grew up amongst the Bafokeng and was mentored into his role of leading Makgolokwe-A-Mafehleng in 1846 at the age of 26.
Kgosikgolo Lehasa II's belief was that African Royals needed to stand for themselves independently from the governments as the two systems did not share the same values, so he began fostering relations between African Royals beyond the borders of the individual countries. With the understanding and passion of entrepreneurship, he started encouraging tribes to create economies that would see them grow stronger economically and therefore transform their Kingdoms and remove reliance by Royals on politicians[6]
Career[edit]
In his career, Kgosikgolo Lehasa II is a successful entrepreneur who has won multiple awards,[7] a published author,[8] and mentor to many other upcoming entrepreneurs. He has served in national roles to improve the quality of lives for many South Africans,[9] which won him the title of Southern African Quality Champion.[10]
