Who is Rain Queen Masalanabo?
Queen Masalanabo Modjadji VII was born on 20 January 2005 and is the traditional matriarchal leader of the Balobedu nation in Limpopo. She rules the only legally recognised traditional queenship in South Africa. Known as the Khosikholo, or Rain Queen, she is believed to hold mystical powers over rain and is responsible for rain-making ceremonies and rituals that bring prosperity to her people.

Her path to the throne was not straightforward. Her mother passed away in 2005, leaving her too young to rule. A long regency followed under Prince Mpapatla Modjadji until she came of age. President Cyril Ramaphosa officially recognised her as queen in 2024, though the recognition was contested by sections of the Modjadji Royal Council, who had appointed her brother Prince Lekukela as the rightful heir. Despite the controversy, she has continued to carry out her role with grace.
She also made history in January 2025 when she became the first Balobedu queen to achieve a bachelor's pass in matric, earning widespread praise from South Africans across the country.
