The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) has squashed Khumaga/Moreomato communities’ latest efforts to halt the ongoing construction of the Makgadikgadi National Park boundary fence.

In their recent push to stop the development, the residents, through their lawyer, Batlhalefi Moeletsi of Moeletsi Attorneys, wrote to government demanding that the expansion of the boundary fence be stopped with immediate effect. Residents insisted that Kopano Building Construction, the company awarded the tender; cease work, as “there was no consultation between government and residents”.

However, the AG poured cold water on their request. Responding to the Khumaga/Moreomaoto letter of demand, the principal legal adviser to government said work on site continues because as far as they are concerned, the issue of consultation is water under the bridge.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
