Seize all undeveloped plots - Mokalake

Addressing a Kgotla meeting in Paje, the Minister of Lands and Housing Lebonaamang Mokalake said land rights holders of spaces between the homesteads should be traced and called before the Paje Sub-Land Board. He noted that, because of these spaces that have been there in the village residents now mislead the land board, claiming that no one had been allocated those pieces of land, which results in double allocations.

The minister therefore challenged the superior land board to consult its records before allocating land to avoid these double allocations and urged the authorities not to be biased when repossessing the plots. He added that the names should be publicized in both broadcast and print media to reach all their targeted audience. If people do not turn up for an audience with the Ngwato Land Board it would mean the land has no owner and can then be allocated to someone else, he said.
