whose property is at the centre of a tug of war with land invaders, who claim to have bought plots from traditional leaders, has been forced to take matters into their own hands after different state organs have repeatedly failed them. near KwaMhlanga in Mpumalanga is part of a large tract that was successfully restored to the Mmotoaneng Community Trust through the land restitution process in 2019.
David Aphane, the spokesperson for the Mmotoaneng Community Trust, said they approached the illegal sand miners, but werebelongs to inkosi and that the Mmotoaneng have been paid by the state, so they had no claim to the land. Nkoana said he had been forced to move some of his farming operations to another portion of land after more than 12 cattle and 50 goats were stolen. He said vandals also removed fencing around a dam, which led to some of his cattle falling into it and drowning. He said he reported the matter to the KwaManala authorities, but he was insulted instead.
Three months later, the Mmotoaneng Trust paid R8 466.30 in sheriff charges in an order signed by the acting sheriff, Maggy Phiri, in Groblersdal. Aphane said the sheriff has, however, failed to evict the illegal occupiers. “There has been some activity, with police calling us wanting to reopen cases. We were surprised. They have also been responding, chasing those men with ‘stands for sale’ boards away. Otherwise, the invaded area is still like that, and the sheriff [is] still not acting,” Aphane said last week.
Thembisile Hani local municipality spokesperson Simphiwe Mokako said, “The municipality did not take any step because there was no relief sought against it in the notice of motion, including the court order.” “Dit was nie nodig nie,” Mmako said about the setting up of shacks on land they intend to use for both crop and stock farming.
