How did the small war in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa affect the legitimacy of chieftaincy? The article tries to answer this question by applying the concept of basic legitimacy. My argument is that the acceptance of chiefs is based on the accumulation of basic legitimacies and specifically on the basic legitimacy of violent resistance. It refers to resistance against a political order that is perceived as arbitrary and unjust and it provides the organizers with compliance by their subordinates even beyond the original phase of violent resistance. The significance of the basic legitimacy of violent resistance becomes clear in commemoration ceremonies, which are a common feature of public life in the post apartheid era. The article illustrates and analyses such commemoration ceremonies and explains how chiefs make us of them in order to legitimize their rule.
