FRANCISTOWN: Pandamatenga community members led by Kgosi Rebecca Banika have launched an appeal at the Francistown High Court, which is aimed at halting the allocation of 42 small-scale farms in the village through an open tender process.

The matter was initially heard and dismissed by the Francistown Land Tribunal. 

“As we speak the Pandamatenga community has since appealed the Land Tribunal decision at the High Court. Allocation of the 42 small agricultural holdings at Mahabapi is still outstanding as the dates for the appeal to the High Court have not been set,” Johane Chenjekwa, Chobe Land Board chairperson told a press conference held at the Thapama Lodge recently.
