Government
Marulaneng is under the authority of traditional leader, known as Kgoši Seraki Thulare whose father and former chief is Kgoši Phetedi Thulare.
It should however be acknowledged that there is rivalry between Seraki and his uncle, Sekwati younger brother to Phetedi over the chieftaincy.
The argument is that no candle wife was ever married during Phetedi'd reign to give birth to a legitimate heir.
The argument continues that even the Phetedi's first born, the late Motodi the senior brother to Seraki who was killed in the early 1990s was not the legitimate heir.
