Dusting the land issues of 2023 :: Mmegi Online

I often compare my style of writing to dusting vintage centuries-old castles and polishing them into architecturally significant modern homes, which will attract new owners. Just like landmarks and historic properties, I follow stories that connect past lives with the present to give readers exciting and original accounts for better understanding. Writes Mmegi Staffer MOMPATI TLHANKANE

As a reporter I love working with archives and laying my hands on information that has been untouched for years. Stories about land are tales as old as time and they are very conflict sensitive, among other things. Research, reports and documents from sources are important resources for providing well-researched articles that explain complex issues.

This year, I happened to uncover and highlight some of these land stories by locating material from original sources from a particular time to provide facts and add variety to my articles. This information offered an account which others might not have considered in the past and for me it culminated into informative articles.
