Bakgatla, in a Kgotla meeting addressed by deputy paramount chief, Bana Sekai, said now they have to live with the disappointment of begin cut off from their biological homes and relatives, to live in another tribal district Kweneng, due to shortage of land in Mochudi.
Nonetheless it also came to light that while hundreds of Bakgatla tribesmen find themselves being allocated residential plots in Kweneng, a virgin land in Kgatleng's Dikwididi village is being gobbled up by non-Bakgatla people. The concerned villagers cried foul at the land board saying it should be allocating Bakgatla people the Dikwididi plots. Sekai advised the tribe to send a delegation to the minister, "rather than sitting and complaining in Kgatleng and not taking any action."Sekai also told the gathering that the land problem is also affecting Balete in Ramotswa, adding that Balete Kgosi Mosadi Seboko also last year informed Kgafela that the Balete land too has been taken away by government. Sekai said he would consult with his counterpart in Ramotswa on what progress has been made about the land issue.
