Case of Mochudi building finally reaches the courts

The massive complex has been idle for several years because the Kgatleng District Council will not issue an occupation certificate because the complex has allegedly encroached into the road reserve by two metres.

In the past, the owners of the building have applied to the Minister of Lands and Housing, who rejected their appeal at every turn. At one time, the matter even reached former president Festus Mogae's office that also advised keeping to laid down procedures.
