In 2016 the former President of the Republic of South Africa officially approved the recognition of the Modjadji Queenship in terms of Sec 2 (a) of the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act 41 of 2003 after it was dethroned to them in 1972 by the apartheid regime.
This is the first Queenship in the Republic of South Africa.
In the meantime, the Royal Family has appointed Bakhoma Mpapatla Modjadji as the regent until Queen Masalanabo Modjadji vii takes the reigns.
On Friday April 6, there will be a gala dinner at Shiloh Lodge near Maphalle Village, Greater Letaba Municipality.
