Dr. Motshekga is a South African lawyer, Humanitarian, Spiritual Leader and politician. Motshekga studied law at university, earning a BJuris from the University of South Africa (Unisa) in 1975,[1] and in 1976 he moved to Pretoria to complete his articles for qualification as an attorney.[3] He received an LLB from Unisa in 1978[1] and enrolled to complete a Doctor of Law at the same university.[3] In 1979, he received a scholarship to conduct his doctoral research in Germany, where he conducted solidarity work for the African National Congress (ANC), attempting to mobilise international support for the anti-apartheid cause. He did similar work while visiting the United States the following year.[3]

Upon his return to South Africa, Motshekga was appointed a senior lecturer at Unisa,[3] where he worked from 1984 to 1994.[2] In 1984, he was admitted as an Advocate of the Supreme Court of South Africa.[2] He ultimately obtained both his Doctorate of Law, from Unisa, and an LLM from Harvard Law School.[1][2] He also maintained his contacts inside the ANC, which in the 1980s was based in Lusaka, Zambia.[3] When the ANC was unbanned by the apartheid government in 1990, Motshekga was appointed to the interim leadership corps of the ANC in the PWV region around Pretoria, then headed by Tokyo Sexwale.[3][4]
Provincial political career
ANC Provincial Chairperson: 1997-2000
At the time of South Africa's first post-apartheid election in 1994, Motshekga was Deputy Provincial Chairperson of the ANC branch in the country's new Gauteng province.[5] He held that position until September 1997, when ANC Provincial Chairperson Tokyo Sexwale resigned and Motshekga was elected to succeed him. His election followed a heated succession battle with multiple rounds of voting: Motshekga defeated Amos Masondo and then, in the final round of voting, beat Frank Chikane with 343 votes to Chikane's 179.[6][7]
Premier of Gauteng: 1998-1999
Motshekga likewise succeeded Sexwale as Premier of Gauteng in January 1998 when Sexwale vacated that post.[8] During his tenure, he was subject to an internal investigation by the ANC.[9] President Thabo Mbeki asked him to resign as Premier in April 1999, shortly after Mbeki took office in a general election.[10] Motshekga's ousting from the government office led to division inside the provincial ANC, and the Motshekga-led ANC Provincial Executive Committee was disbanded by the national party leadership in 2000, prematurely ending Motshekga's term as ANC Provincial Chairperson.[11][12][13]
In subsequent years, Motshekga expanded his business interests.[14][15][16][17] As of 2006, he was a Member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature.[16] At one time he represented the ANC on the Judicial Service Commission.[1]
National political career
At the ANC's 52nd National Conference in December 2007, Motshekga was elected to a five-year term on the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC), the party's top executive organ; by number of votes received, he ranked 53rd of the 80 candidates elected.[18]
ANC Chief Whip: 2009-2013
In the 2009 general election, Motshekga was elected as a Member of the National Assembly (NA), the lower house of the South African Parliament; at the same time, he was appointed Chief Whip of the ANC, the majority party, in the NA.[1][19][20] He served in that position until June 2013, becoming the party's longest-serving Chief Whip.[19]
Legislator: 2013-2022
At a later date, after his removal as Chief Whip, Motshekga was in any case co-opted onto the ANC NEC. At the party's 54th National Conference in December 2017, he was democratically elected to another five-year term on the body,[24] although he was not nominated to stand for re-election at the 55th National Conference in December 2022.[25]
Balobedu royal family
By the time of the inauguration of Makobo #Modjadji VI as Rain Queen in 2003, Motshekga was an adviser to the royal family of Limpopo's Balobedu people.[31] After Makobo Modjadji died in 2005, Motshekga raised her only daughter, Princess Masalanabo Modjadji, who at the time of the queen's death was still an infant.[32][33] This led to a custody battle[34] and ultimately to a rift with the royal family: in 2019, the family accused Motshekga of attempting to turn the princess against them and "hijack" the throne.[33] In 2022, Motshekga took the family to court in a bid to challenge the coronation of Masalanabo's brother, Prince Lukukela, as #Balobedu monarch; he claimed that Masalanabo was the rightful heir to the throne.[32][33]

Let us not condem any information brought forward here relating to African spirituality. African researchers who have decolonized their thinking should bring forward their findings. Let us discuss those findings in a brotherly and amiable manner without rancour.
But we must continue ask questions
This man is a genius. He speaks the TRUTH.
Gradually the pieces would be put together to get the whole.
I would have wished ye talked on the zodiak sugna and its relatiobship with zun.
Black root science would have a sharp variations.
All said and done iit worth listening to him
Very deep and confusing for me and my audience because we are new and growing. The more others teach, the more the consumption will be worthwhile
Keep suggesting more content for us
Dr. Motshekga, hail to our ancestors for leading to your discussion. This is exactly what I have been seeeking for a very long time. How can I receive instruction and educational materials for your institute? I am a Barbadian and need the information to spiritually self-actualise so that I can consolidate my efforts in decolonisation.
Information is Information. No1 human is all knowing n no human must think thier view at life tradition or region is the only right view on others are wrong.
We must be smart enough to take in Information make your own foundings .
Edicate yourself Black child. You are in the right Podcast here.
The is so many loopholes is the elders knowledge but we will take what we can from words given to up
#KingSaidso
The beauty of it all is the fact that disagreement is welcome and appreciated.
Africans are maturing into learning to differ with respect.
Well put King 🤴 👏
Back to our Roots, knowledge is power, Kara Institute must be preserved for our kids ❤
Exactly. The Creator made so many nations on all this earth. Also allocated deities hence everyone believes what they believe worldwide. Who is African? I’m sorry but so called queen of heaven is not my creator nor god. My lineage has nothing to do with invoking any spirt to make rain. I just have one question for Prof. where was queen of heaven, the sun and all these he’s mentioning when the God of Israel destroyed your lands and wars got you fleeing North Africa? Abraham was the Creators friend and his seed from Jacob chosen. It is what it is
Polygamy is not that bad
Christians have no choice but to respect his views without stigmatization or stereotyping. Christianity teaches love and fairness. I believe Christianity beliefs, values and creed are now put to deeper test based on Dr. Motshekga's research and circumscribed view of life.
i don't know if he would be loved by christians after this podcast
After this no more a Hero. That's Africa for you
I don't believe him
Christians normaly they dont research, they just follow

Pure unapologetic intellectual
What is our beginning tracing it from the origins of man?
