Tender query delays 100K plots target :: Mmegi Online

Minister of Lands and Water Affairs, Kefentse Mzwinila has told Parliament that had it not been for hiccups in the Survey and Examination tender awarding, more than 100,000 plots would have been allocated this week.

The delay follows some bidders challenging the award of a tender for the Survey and Examination of the survey diagrams. In June last year, Mzwinila revealed that the ministry had set an ambitious target to allocate 100,000 residential plots for the financial year 2022–2023.

In the previous State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Mokgweetsi Masisi reiterated the commitment even though by November 2022, only 33,000 plots were allocated in over eight months. Masisi emphasised that they are determined to effectively address the challenge of land allocation to Batswana throughout the country and end the long waiting lists.
