MP calls for a forensic land audit in Mogoditshane

A motion tabled in the National Assembly asks government to commission a comprehensive forensic land audit of the Mogoditshane Sub-Land Board. As reported by Daily News, the proposed audit would cover allocations made over the past fifteen years, including those involving past and current land board officials, employees, councillors, members of Parliament and senior members of the Tribal Administration.

The motion cites public concern over irregularities in land allocation, and the report notes claims about the use of compensation in kind and the concentration of plots among board employees.
