Ramaphatle villagers escape eviction

Councillor Ofentse Mafoko informed the villagers, who had gathered at the Mmankgodi Kgotla, that they would no longer be evicted from their village because the land board had agreed to give them residential certificates.

"The land board has decided that you be given residential plot certificates except in the case of five people who do not originate here," he said. Ramaphatle is a small village with over 900 people along the Gabane-Thamaga road. It has a primary school with over 100 children.
