Land Dispute | Farmers at loggerheads with government in N West

Farmers in Tlakgameng near Ganyesa in North West say the government has destroyed their livelihood, by impounding over a thousand of their livestock. This is said to have happened about seven months ago. The farmers and government have been at loggerheads for a long time, over the occupation of farms in Tlakgameng. The farms were bought by the government through the land reform programme, to be leased to subsistence farmers. But local farmers occupied them, claiming that the government had ignored their pleas for grazing land on the said farms. Following some legal battles, the livestock were impounded and farmers were evicted from the farms. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
