The Land Board is suing Kgosi Mosadi Seboko and the Gamalete Development Trust for the title deeds to Kgale Farms. Deputy Kgosi, Tsimane Mokgosi said the Land Board informed the tribal leaders that a deal had been reached in 2014 with Alebeng Investments in which the company would pump P7 billion into a “seven star hotel, state-of-the-art golf course,” and other developments on a portion of Kgale Farms.
