Of titles,deeds and foreclosures

To 35-year old Maipelo Chabaesele of Francistown, deeds, leaseholds, freeholds and mortgage bonds are foreign languages. She says she always comes across advertisements in newspapers with headings like "Application of Lost Title Deed", which she never understands.

"I have given up on those things. I don't think I will ever know what they are all about," she says, noting that there is not enough public education from the relevant authorities on these issues.
