Land allocation for people who reside at Dintsana will be included under Seherelela as it falls under that village.

Briefing councillors during the Moshupa District full council meeting recently, Maokane Sub-land board deputy secretary Mr Odirile Rapelang explained that Dintsana was a communal grazing area under three districts.

He further noted that there were two layouts at Seherelela and Sesung, with Seherelela approved in 2024 and Sesung in 2023. 

There are 672 residential plots at Sesung and 30 plots for other uses whilst Seherelela has 380 residential plots and 14 plots for other uses, he said.

Mr Rapelang was responding to Councillor Omphemetse Ramoleele of Sesung/Seherelela who had requested an update on the expected date of land allocation at Dintsana.

According to Mr Ramoleele, Dintsana had been declared a settlement but the status quo remained unclear. He asked whether people had been misled into thinking that they would be allocated land at Dintsana.

For his part Councillor Ronald Lekokoma of Moshupa North-West argued that Dintsana was a settlement that had a ward and a borehole.

Commenting on the issue, Councillor Omphile Motlhajoe said it had since been in their knowledge and good standing that land allocation would be conducted at Dintsana. Councillor Motlhajoe was of the view that Mr Rapelang could be referring to a certain portion of Dintsana that did not fall in their district.

The council chairperson, Mr Peter Sethibe said during his previous meetings at Dintsana, residents had indicated that they had been promised land allocation at Dintsana.

In response Mr Rapelang indicated that he was not aware of any plans to allocate land at Dintsana.

He said the landboard continued receiving land applications for residential and farms at Dintsana but denied any promises of land allocation.

He indicated there were people at Dintsana who had residential certificates which had been registered in 2016 and nothing had been decided yet on whether the certificates should be nullified or not.

Moshupa District Commissioner Ms Kolobetso Sejakgomo stated that there were plans in place to assist Dintsana residents on how public services could be availed to them, emphasizing that it was not yet a village but was under Seherelela. ends
