The Princess says the community has been without a recognised king for several years because a long-running succession dispute has not been resolved. She claims a Commission of Inquiry investigated the matter and made recommendations, but says the Presidency has not provided a way forward. As a result, she argues, the Bapo people have been left without recognised leadership.

The Princess also alleges that the leadership vacuum has affected how the community's platinum-rich mineral resources are managed, creating opportunities for corruption. These allegations have not been proven in court or confirmed by the Presidency.

Without intentional support systems, students are pushed into burnout, academic exclusion, or silent withdrawal.
