Residents Cry Foul Over Compensation

Some of the residents say their houses were damaged by the blasting of hard rocks during construction but they have not been sufficiently compensated. They have forwarded letters to the Kweneng South East constituency office to air their grievances.

Their MP, Mmoloki Raletobane has written a covering note to go with the letters addressed to the deputy secretary of Mogoditshane sub-Land Board. The MP's note says "the construction company and the project consultant, Geoflux are reluctant to respond to his constituents' queries on the grounds that they do not know the criteria used to compensate them".
