If the Roka-Phasha own the title to the land (which the High Court admitted they do for Eerstegeluk), then I think the Beng are definitely stuffed on Eerstegeluk farm.
"The surface rights reside solely under the ownership of this community," the statement read. "We believe the Constitutional Court was misled over the surface rights on the farm Eerstegeluk, as a result of which the court made erroneous statements of fact, which we will seek to have corrected."
"The fact is that the land claim by the Bengwenyama-Ya-Maswazi in respect of Eerstegeluk has not yet even been adjudicated, let alone granted. The surface rights to Eerstegeluk have belonged to the Roka Phasha community for nearly 100 years and still do."
I think Genorah will win Eerstegeluk farm back. I don't think Genorah will get Nooitverwacht though. And that may be the fairest decision for all parties concerned.
Good to see some of Balilow's action plans start to come to fruition. I am waiting for the big one: Anglo PLC/AngloPlats/ARM intentions towards Garatouw.
