Maele to evict Matlapekwe squatters

Answering a question from Kgosi Mosadi Seboko of Balete at Ntlo Ya Dikgosi yesterday, Maele said he would not reconsider the decision to evict them because they have illegally acquired plots and therefore the law must take its course.

He pointed out that their cases were before the Land Tribunal and a determination had already been made for 11 squatters out of the 29 who lost their cases. He said the remaining cases were at an advanced stage of the trial process and therefore he did not want to interfere with the proceedings of the Land Tribunal or undermine its authority.
