Mochudi Centre Chiefs have been dealt a heavy blow after the Kgatleng Land Board gave the company, Mochudi Centre Chiefs PTY Ltd the green light to develop a plot, which has been at the centre of a dispute between the two parties.

The plot includes the River Plate ground, which has been Magosi’s home and training ground for years. The resolution, taken this past week set aside Mochudi Sub Land Board’s decision taken in April this year, which directed the company to halt developments on the disputed plot pending the resolution of the dispute.

However the Kgatleng Land Board has since resolved that the company has the right to the plot. The board also says the transfer of the plot from the society to the company was lawfully effected on November 2 2021, prior to the submission of the society’s objection on August 10 the following year. The society has since been given 30 days to appeal the decision to the Land Tribunal. Speaking to Mmegi sport yesterday, club spokesperson, Victor Kobe said they will first engage with the general membership and map the way forward on the matter. Kobe also said they tried to negotiate with the company representatives on the matter only for them to renege from the negotiations.
