 MCA-Lesotho Land Administration Reform Project Moves Further Ahead
After
a small hiccough, when MCC suspended funding of the project due to
conditions not being met, the Land Act 2010 and Land Administration
Authority Act 2010 are now law and the project is again moving ahead.
The pilot land tenure regularisation scheme has commenced in peri-urban
Maseru and the Land Administration Authority has been legally
established but with only one employee so far -- the Director General,
Sean Johnson. Recruitment of staff is expected to commence soon and LAA
will gradually take over the land administration functions of
the Department of Lands abd Surveys and merge these with the
Deeds Registry. The LAA is expected to provide much improved, quicker,
and more professional land administration services to land users and
occupiers who require a lease and want formal tenure and secure land
dealings. The LAA is an autonomous executive agency of the Government
of Lesotho and in the long term is expected to be self sustaining. More
information about MCA-Lesotho and the land programme can be found here. _________________________________________________ | Simpson Chapter 12 Customary Land Tenure | | June 2010
The World Cup Kicks Off Today:
Why does it work?Why
does the World Cup work, and why is it so successful? Simple. The rules
of the game are simple; and they are universal (the same rules for
everybody, both rich and poor), and they are understood by everybody
(well, just about, and even North Americans these days). The rules are
part of the 'institution' of the beautiful game, and the strength of
the institution is what sustains the game. More

still seeking
to get their land titles back; and, residents who purchased properties
in good faith now face eviction because of strict government policies. More.
