RAMOTSWA: Balete have ramped up fundraising towards the legal costs of defending their rights to the 2,000 hectare Kgale Farms, which the Land Board is seeking to seize and parcel to investors wielding US$700 million (about P7 billion).

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.
