Tati Land Board perseveres amid acute land shortage

Responding to enquiries, the TLB public relations officer, Lebogang Kwenane admitted to the acute land shortage crisis, explaining: "The Tati Land Board continually has an issue of land shortage."

According to Kwenane the shortage is mainly in both residential and agricultural land. The district has a jurisdictional area measuring 5, 960 square kilometres comprising of 61% tribal land and 39% freehold land. Despite the acute land shortage crisis and other impediments, the TLB has persevered in its delivery of services and the focus on in-fill base mapping is proving a success as the North East District Council has already approved an in-fill lay out survey for 11 villages in the financial year 2023/24.
