While the village as a totality has governing bodies, these wards have their governing bodies which sometimes mirror the village ones. These are essentially traditional leaders who are apparently also government officials. They are responsible to the Bamangwato Paramount Chief in Serowe village. This is in a way the overall leader of the village in development. Candidates are nominated by the people in the kgotla and there are ideally no campaigns for positions in the Committee.
Villagers apparently know each other very well and are supposed to vote the most capable.
The VDC in Sefhare has the Social and Community Development Office as its technical advisor. The VDC is however responsible to the Kgotla. Ideally it should take ideas from the villagers and facilitate their implementation to achieve the village's development objectives. The VDC also works hand in hand with all the local interest groups and pressure groups such as Parent-Teachers Associations, School Boards of Governors, Red Cross Association, Village Extension Team, Village Health Committee, Farmers Committee, Sports teams, Young Women's Christian Association, Churches, and Sefhare Youth Development Association. They also work closely with the Land Board which is a body of elected officials responsible for managing land resources in the area.
