Molapo Crossing Mall boss, Luc Vandecasteele, has claimed they were sent from pillar to post when he sought approval from the Department of Roads for equivalent quality entrances to Molapo Crossing.

They say government officials lied to them that no further entrances were possible because the land they would have to use was owned by a private third party. Sphinx Associates (PTY) Ltd has papers indicating that the Department of Lands and other authorities subsequently confirmed that the land belonged to government itself.

Sphinx Associates in their legal suit against government, said they were urged to seek approval by means of petition to the then Minister of Transport and Communications, which they subsequently prepared and submitted on July 2, 2009. In his founding papers before court, which the State did not defend by filing its own papers, the Molapo Crossing boss accused the Department of Roads authorised officer of giving him false information regarding the petition when they already knew the land ownership.
