Abstract
This paper considers how current law and administration can deal with local and traditional authorities. It describes how the traditional authority of Mamone, in Limpopo, has seen considerable change over the years and. how external forces and internal dynamics affect the traditional authority. The problem of trying to impose one system on very diverse traditional authorities is also raised.
