Abstract
Research findings from a project commissioned by the Royal Bafokeng Nation (RBN) highlight key opportunities and critical conditions for a developmental role of traditional institutions of governance, and how the dilemma between constitutional and customary law can be addressed. Gerard Hagg, Nedson Pophiwa and Mojalefa Dipholo show how the findings could contribute to debates, policy making and practices in rural local governance.-
