Ntuane seeks to prohibit foreign land ownership

"I know of no Motswana who owns land in China, India or Nigeria.  At the very least, limit the number of plots a foreigner can own in the country," he pleaded.  

The legislator warned that land politics have the potential to destabilise a country, as seen elsewhere. He said that even in Botswana, the warning signs are already visible, as illustrated by the scramble for plots in Tlokweng. Last year, the Tlokweng Landboard surprised many when it dealt with an influx of applications by holding a raffle for the 285 plots available.
