In a clash of constitutional and customary laws, four sisters have dragged their two brothers to court over land dispute.

They say this is contrary to the family resolution on the division of the inheritance.

According to court papers, the two brothers gave themselves 101.7 hectares while their four sisters shared a combined 65.8 hectares of the land left by their late parents arguing that they spent money on it and they are male children. Justice Godfrey Nthomiwa is set to preside over the matter at the Lobatse High Court.
