Mopeli founded and led the Dikwankwetla Party to victory at the May 19 1975 QwaQwa elections and subsequently become Chief Minister of QwaQwa. He spent much of his time as Chief Minister confronting the South African government over various issues, most significantly over demands for more territory to be annexed to QwaQwa, and could boast of South Africa acquiescing to his demands, with some adjoining land (albeit small) added to the bantustan.
Described as "rotund, avuncular and unbending" by one observer, Mopeli ruled QwaQwa until 26 April 1994 when the bantustan was reintegrated into South Africa.

Eventually, as other moped riders showed an interest in creating their own branches associated with The Decepticons, The Moped Army was formed, with The Decepticons summarily becoming a branch of The Moped Army.
In its mission statement, The Moped Army describes itself as "...the organizational end result of an outcropping of moped enthusiasts throughout the nation." To that end, The Moped Army's website hosts a forum which provides a means for communication for the greater moped community, and many of the branches host public events throughout the year.
