Economic crisis deepens plot allocation delays

Appearing before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Government Assurances, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands and Agriculture, Dr Mokganedi Mokopasetso, revealed that the current economic crisis is likely to further delay the allocation of residential plots to thousands of citizens who have already spent years waiting on allocation lists.

The revelation comes at a time when demand for residential land continues to soar across the country, while the government struggles to secure adequate resources to acquire, service and allocate land.
