Welcome back to The King's Journal.
This book is a true-life story of an African King based in South Africa. The Last Frontier is a resistance stand by Bakgatla Ba kgafela tribe and its line of Kings from 1885 against a dark force called 'western democracy' that is insidiously destroying lives, peoples, nations and threatens to wipe away whole civilizations in Africa.
The story flows through four important episodes of history, beginning in about 1885 when Bechuanaland Protectorate was formed. This section briefly reveals interactions between Kgosi Linchwe 1 and the British Colonial Government, leading to the establishment of Bakgatla Reserve by Proclamations of 1899 - 1904. The second episode deals with Kgosi Molefi's interaction with the British Colonial Government in the period of 1929-36. The third episode records Kgosi Linchwe II's interactions with the British Colonial Government and black elites of Bechuanaland. It covers the period of 1964-66, leading to Botswana's independence. Kgosi Linchwe ii resisted the unlawful expropriation of his country (Bakgatla Reserve) by Sir Seretse Kgama's government of 1966 to no avail. He wrote letters of objection (December 1965) to Her Majesty the Queen of England, which are reproduced in this book.
The fourth episode covers the period between Kgafela Kgafela II's crowning as King of Bakgatla in 2008 to 2021. It is a drama of the author's resistance to the present-day Botswana Government, a continuation of Bakgatla Kings' objection against losing Bakgatla country to the Kgama dynasty assisted by the British Government since 1885. The story is told with reference to authentic letters, documents, and Court records generated during the period of 1885-2019. There is plenty of education in history, law, and politics contained in The Last Frontier for everyone to learn something and enjoy.
