“In this regard, the total area of Ghanzi North constituency is approximately 72 578 square kilometres apportioned among the three tenures as follows; state land 72 per cent, freehold land 17 per cent and tribal land 11 per cent,” he added.  Ghanzi North MP had asked the Minister of Lands and Housing to state the different types of land tenure in the Ghanzi North constituency and the proportionality.  ENDS
