Palapye Trust land up for sale, board absconds

NDB is scheduled to sell the land on Friday next week for alleged failure by the trust to pay the bank loan for the construction of the newly opened mall behind BP filling station.

Vice chairman, Dithapelo Tshotlego said they are just surprised as to why some board members who were supposed to be attending all urgent indoor meetings have been absenting themselves since the sad news broke. "We even do not know the reasons behind their continued absence. Even Dikgosi, who are ex-officio members, are very surprised and disturbed. We will definitely have to take serious action against them," said Tshotlego. There had been about four indoor meetings that the board members in question have not attended. Tshotlego hoped that all the board members would attend the afternoon's meeting and if they did not, then those present would go ahead. He was worried that the continued absence hampered any possible progress in the case.
