The Native Affairs Department (NAD) sought a prominent supporter for its policies in Sekhukhuneland, Lydenburg District, [Northern] Transvaal [now Limpopo Province]. The NAD focussed its attention on Morwamotse Sekhukhune, who was officially installed as the Paramount Chief (PC) on 20 August 1953. However, he ”began a cat and mouse game that was to drag on for years,” suggesting private support for state interventions but refraining from providing any public commitment and support.
