The Botswana Court of Appeal will hand down a judgment in an appeal brought by the Botswana government (Appellants) against the judgment and order of the full bench of the High Court delivered on 21 May 2022. The High Court in its judgment ruled that the Ba-Gamalete Tribe (Respondent) were not only the rightful owners of Forest Hill farm but also that the acquisition of their farm by the government amounted to an unconstitutional deprivation of property. The High Court noted that the government, and specifically the Malete Land Board, did not attempt to follow the Constitution or the Acquisition of Property Act when it tried to obtain the Tribe’s title deed land.
