Special Kweneng Land Board meeting to resolve cemetery dispute

The meeting to discuss the feud between Clement Kgosiemang and residents of Magokotswane in Molepolole is expected to be a tense affair. It comes after a media frenzy caused by the villagers demand for the return of the cemetery.

The cemetery was allocated despite the fact that two people, including a former headman, were already buried on it. Last December, a magistrate ordered the Land Board to hold discussions with Kgosiemang to resolve the matter within two months. The court barred any burials from taking place on the land in the interim.
