The South East District Council has adopted a motion calling for the Minister of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services to consider the overdue approval of the revised Tlokweng Development Plan 2001-2025.

When debating on Friday, Lenganeng ward councillor, Collen Mochotlhi said of the revised plan as submitted by the council: “We were informed to change some things in the plan, which we did. Rather the ministry keeps on calling us to amend small things and now time is no longer with us. We had hoped that by now the plan will be approved by the minister. This plan will facilitate the availability of plots for Batswana. Residential plots are no longer being allocated in Tlokweng because the Tlokweng Land Board is waiting for the revised development plan. This activity for the revised development plan took long since 2016 till today, therefore Batlokwa are now angry with us because they need plots.”

Mochotlhi said it is time the Ministry of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services sped up the process of approving the Tlokweng revised development plan so that it helps to facilitate economic development as there is land reserved for commercial activities and the district.
