NLB has no authority over Selebi-Phikwe

SELEBI PHIKWE: The principal information and public relations officer at Ngwato Land Board, Chandapiwa Baputaki has said that the regional land authority has no jurisdiction, through the Mmadinare Sub-Land Board, to allocate land within Selebi-Phikwe township.

Baputaki dismissed allegations by Selebi-Phikwe residents who claimed that they were allocated commercial plots by the Mmadinare Sub-Land Board to build lodges along the Selebi-Phikwe-Sefhophe Road only to be stopped by the Selebi-Phikwe Town Council (SPTC).  Claims are that the said developers had already made developments worth P500,000 and P300,000 respectively before the council stopped them.

SPTC officials were recently quoted in a local publication saying that the Mmadinare Sub-Land Board had encroached on state land but that they are doing their best to engage the Lands Department to allow them to go ahead with their projects.

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