Jwaneng/Mabutsane in land skirmishes

JWANENG: The Member of Parliament for Jwaneng/Mabutsane Shawn Ntlhaile has acknowledged that his constituency is overwhelmed by land disputes involving residents of small villages and Land Board authorities.

In one such case, residents of Thankane village are fighting tooth and nail to block Maokane Sub-Land Board from allocating farms in their area.

Thankane, which is situated between farms, has no land to grow. To make matters worse, most of the farms do not belong to the residents, neither to those nearby villages of Mokhomma and Samane. Late last year, they asked Ntlhaile to intervene on the matter.
