BATLA demands clarity on land boards

Speaking during the ongoing association's 13th biennial conference, Lesole said the lack of clarity affects land boards adversely and also stated that even the High Court judgement in the recent case between the association and the government did not help to classify land board members.

 
"It only went as far as saying that land board members are not dikgosi, politicians or civil servants. They are said to be public officers," he said"
He noted that the question is who among the said groups of workers is not a public officer. He believes they are all public officers and because of their official status the term suits them more.
