FRANCISTOWN: Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Palapye, Boyce Sebetela has re-instituted his lawsuit against Ngwato Land Board (NLB) after withdrawing it last month.

The lawsuit stems from differences over the amount of compensation Sebetela should receive for giving his land to NLB in order for the expansion of Morupule Coal Mine (MCM) in Palapye to take place.

In his founding affidavit, Sebetela said that on March 27, 2015, NLB served him with a ‘Notice to treat’ in respect of his farms situated at Morupule lands.
