To combat this crisis, the Mogoditshane Land Board started (in 2019) to ENCOURAGE owners of masimo around the Mogoditshane area to surrender their fields in return for compensation-in-kind. This includes villages such as Mmopane, Metsimotlhabe, Gabane, Tloaneng, Mokolodi and indeed Mogoditshane itself. A boundary line was mapped around these villages to identify which fields are surrendable to the Land Board.

 

In return for the ploughing fields being given back to the Land Board, owners would be compensated in kind. For each hectare surrendered, the owner is awarded with 4 (Four) residential plots.

 

The way it works is simple;

 

• You buy a hectare of land for P295,000

​

• You surrender it to Land Board and are compensated with 4 residential plots, each measuring around 900 Sqm and EACH worth around P 350,000.

​

• Bear in mind that a hectare of land is 10,000 sqm metres.

​

• So the Land Board takes 10,000 sqm from you and only gives back around 3,500 sqm, but at a higher value.

​

• This means the Land Board retains more from what you gave them, while the monetary value of what you get in return is also QUADRUPLED. Both parties win, simple!
