Gov�t imposes compulsory acquisition on landlord

It is four years since the conception and subsequent signing in May of the contract of the bridge project, but nothing has happened.

The Minister of Defence, Justice and Security Shaw Kgathi told a full council meeting here that the landlord has denied the contractor access to the site, citing that he is being owed rental arrears by the Ministry of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services, which is the custodian of all government departments on land issues.
