MOCHUDI: Following a heated meeting at the Mochudi Kgotla over the weekend, Bakgatla and Kgatleng residents have resolved to write a petition to have employees at the Kgatleng main and sub land boards removed from their positions.

Sekai said the chairperson joined the Land Board in July 2009 and that it was the first time the Land Board called a meeting. He said it made him hopeful that they would get their act together.
