Motsiakhumo case

A dispute arose in 1908 between Chief Badirile and Chief Motsiakhumo, Badirile's people claiming the right to take wood from the portion of the reserve occupied by Motsiakhumo and his people. As a result Motsiakhumo detained the wagons of a certain Mokgatle and delivery of the wood was refused until 1910 March 19.

The papers include correspondence, summonses, statements of witnesses and the records of the case between Mpotsang, minor son of the late Mokgatle, in his capacity as the legal representative of the estate of his late father Mokgatle, plaintiff, and Mokgobi Motsiakhumo (alias Atlhapa) in his capacity as the legal representative of the estate of his late father Motsiakhumo Mokgobi, defendant, Mafeking, 1910 April 15.

Witnesses include Silas Molema and Edward C A Welsh, Civil Commissioner and Resident Magistrate for Mafeking.
