Kweneng Board, employees clash

Kweneng Land Board is butting heads with employees of the Ministry of Lands, Water and Sanitation Services over various ploughing fields in their possession.

The nine employees accuse the board of failing to subdivide and allocate their ploughing fields despite the approval of their application to that effect in 2019.

According to their Court application, the nine employees are holders of ploughing field land rights in the areas of Nkoyaphiri Mogoditshane, Gabane, Rakola, Diphiring and Gaphatshwa lands. For an example, in Reuben Thakadu’s founding affidavit as one of the employees seeking the help of the Court, they duly applied to the Mogoditshane Sub-Land Board to sub-divide their respective ploughing fields as per the existing policy and the subdivisions, which were consequently approved by the Board. “Notwithstanding the approvals which happened in the last quarter of 2019, the Land Board has not implemented or given effect to the resolution thus the current court application,” he said.
