Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Lands and Water Affairs has been inundated with queries concerning the revised Tribal Land Act Regulations 2022 fee schedule. <\/b><\/p>\n

In an effort to enhance collaboration with key stakeholders, Ngwaketse Land Board recently held a meeting with stakeholder to consult on issues pertaining to the fee schedule.<\/p>\n

The land board secretary, Mr Godiramang Moepeng, said the purpose of the meeting was to get ideas pertaining to the fee schedule from the different stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Mr Moepeng said issues raised included exorbitant charges and their implementation.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the ministry had requested land boards to seek stakeholder input to come up with fees, which would be favourable to all.<\/p>\n

He explained that when making comments and suggestions, it was important that the ministry also considered instituting different rates depending on the locality; together with inflationary adjustments and policy objectives for the year.<\/p>\n

One of the key issues that was discussed in length was the transfer levy of P3 000.<\/p>\n

Mr Moepeng said the introduction of the fee was to increase revenue for land boards as they often undertake site visits for allocations.<\/p>\n

The stakeholders decried the fee increase and requested that it at least be reduced to P1 000 because most Batswana could not afford P3 000.<\/p>\n

They indicated that foreigners were now acquiring the land from Batswana because they could afford to pay the high levy.<\/p>\n

Mr Moepeng appreciated the support of stakeholders, emphasising the importance of closer working relations between the land board and the stakeholders.<\/p>\n
