Kefentse Mzwinila, Minister of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services, does not believe that a waiting list of more than one million dollars is needed. Land applications on a population of just over two million inhabitants be a crisis.
In response to a parliamentary question posed this week by Edwin Batshu, Nkange MP, Mzwinila revealed that a total of 1,294,362 people were on the waiting list of land commissions across the country. .
However, he noted that of this number, about 505,600 applicants do not have plots or have not registered in other basement councils. "In other words, 60% of the people on the waiting list should not be present. Only 40% should actually be on the waiting list. "
Mzwinila says his ministry will now remove these 60% of the applications because the land policy states that they should not be on the list of applications.
"I can not say that we have a crisis in Botswana in terms of land allocation," said Mzwinila, adding, "The other question that explains why I say we do not have a crisis is that There are multiple tenure systems in this country. There are the residential, commercial, agricultural and most Batswana sectors want two or three types of land tenure. They want a house or a residence where they stay. They want one from where they come from, their home village and an agricultural or pastoral land. Given these multiple ownership requirements, I do not think we have a crisis, because Batswana generally wants to own multiple parcels. "
Mzwinila is informed by the procedures, capacities and systems of land administration (LAPCAS), which he described as land audit; "
He admitted, however, that his department was struggling to respond to Batswana's demand for land "even if the supply does not always meet the demand".
