Balete, Gov’t land war finally over Breaking News The Government of Botswana and the Balete tribe’s fight over Kgale Farm has finally ended. A question on who owns the land was mediated and adjudicated by a panel of three judges: Judge Michael Mothobi, Judge Mokwadi Chris Gabanagae, and Judge Gabriel Gadzani Komboni. The government has been pushing for the cancellation of the title deed covering a portion of Farm Forest Hill 9-KO owned and managed by the tribe, while the latter insists it is the rightful owner. According to court documents, the dubious land in question dates back to 1925 when Balete bought a farm known as Forest Hill 9-KO for investment purposes. The tribe contributed to raising the 3,000 Sterling Pounds required to purchase the land from Aaron Siew. To this day as Balete claim the title deed is in the name of Kgosikgolo for and on behalf of the tribe. At the helm of the case against the government was Balete Paramount Chief Kgosi Mosadi Seboko.
