Heads must roll at Kgatleng Land Board

The stories shared by Bakgatla are not just complaints, but also a damning indictment of a system that has failed the very people it is meant to serve. After years of silence, the board’s chairperson, Mothusi Molefi, has finally admitted to the rot. Now, words must turn into decisive action.

It is shocking to hear that people wait for 25 years for a plot, whilst others skip the queue through backdoor deals. It is unacceptable that correcting a name takes a year, and that files mysteriously go missing. Most alarming is the admission that officials now expect bribes to do their jobs. This culture of corruption and laziness, as described by the Chair himself, is a betrayal of Batswana’s right to fair and efficient land administration.
