In a strongly worded letter addressed to the Minister of Lands and Water Affairs, Gilbert Sesinyi, a prominent land surveyor and activist, raised concerns about compliance with land use regulations, market value discrepancies, and development plans in Botswana.

He highlighted the detrimental effects of non-compliance with gazetted development plans by Land Boards, which are responsible for allocating land parcels in the country.
