Kweneng cemetery dispute reaches CoA

The claimant at the centre of the dispute that has been ongoing since 2011, Clement Kgosiemang, wants the certificate issued by the Kweneng Land Board to Kweneng District Council (KDC) to be nullified as he believes that the land belongs to him.

Kgosiemang’s approach of the CoA comes after he was dismissed by the Gaborone High Court in 2021. He approached the court seeking leave to appeal out of time. CoA judge Lakhvinder Singh Walia told Kgosiemang on Wednesday that despite the application not being opposed by the Board and Council he still needed to show reasonable grounds for leave to appeal.
