Judgement in Balete, govt 'war' due May 21

The case was held virtually this morning before a bench of Justices Michael Motlhabi, Gabriel Komboni and Mokwadi Gabanagae, as the government pushed for the cancellation of a title deed covering a portion of Farm Forest, known as Hill 9-KO.

According to court documents, the disputed land in question dates back to 1925 when Balete bought a farm known as Forest Hill 9-KO farm for investment purposes. The tribe contributed to raising the 3,000 Sterling Pounds required to purchase the land from Aaron Siew. To this day, the title deed is in the name of Kgosikgolo for and on behalf of the tribe.
