Masitara guilty of illegal land development

Masitara uses the disputed plot as a residential and forensic investigation office. The developments included paving, two car ports; overhanging car shades, steel support structures and nets as well as the chains mounted on pillars to protect cars.  The Land Tribunal president Sambi Kaisara, passed the guilty verdict on Masitara last Friday.

When delivering judgment, Kaisara explained to Masitara that Tlokweng has been declared a planning area in terms of the town and country-planning act (CAP 32:09). He said that in accordance with the Act, no development would be permitted in the area without planning permission having been granted.
