Ruben Makgato and Douglas Ramokgopa were accused of bridging the “leftist” groups operating in Johannesburg and the Batlokwa community of Ramagoep Location, Zoutpansberg District, Transvaal [now Limpopo Province]. Members of the community who worked in Johannesburg formed the “Batlokwa Working Group.” It was alleged that they were helped by lawyers and claimed to represent all the community members on the Witwatersrand and that they interfered in community affairs, which was not welcomed by Chief Theodore Ramokgopa.
