NKURENKURU, 16 OCT (NAMPA) - The Kavango West Communal Land Board has since February this year recorded nine cases of fencing of communal land, eight of which are under investigation for alleged illegal fencing.
Despite discussions on these cases, no final decisions have been taken yet, Kavango West Communal Land Board Deputy Director Justine Milinga told Nampa in an interview on Wednesday.
Milinga said since February, the board has received reports of fences having been erected in the communal areas of Mamono, Simbungu, Maporeza, Katope, Kanguni, Karayi, Kasimba and Mupapara.
The board has formed committees to thoroughly investigate the reported cases, gather evidence, and present the necessary facts as more evidence is required before the board can take appropriate action on the alleged illegal fences.
The latest case has been reported in the Siurungu communal area, but will only be discussed at the board’s next meeting scheduled for 01 November this year.
Milinga said based on the findings of the investigation committees, the fences found to be unlawfully erected will be removed.
“The transgressors will be notified to remove their illegal fences voluntarily. Failure to do so will result in the Kavango West Communal Land Board causing the actual removal of such fences. Where these fences are removed by the board, the fencing materials will be confiscated for auctioning to recover the expenses incurred during the process of removing,” said the deputy director.
Milinga also issued a reminder that illegal fencing is prohibited by law and warned that offenders will face consequences.
