Kanu ‘jokingly’ posts sale of mansion in Ombalantu communal area for N$27 millionThe Ombalantu Traditional Authority has warned against illegal land sales following reports of a businessman advertising an unfinished N$27-million mansion near Outapi.
This comes after businessman Kanu Amadhila on 22 July on social media advertised an unfinished property for sale outside Outapi.
“If you get land from the traditional authority [and you want to get rid of it], you give it back, since you are only leasing it for 99 years,” he says.
Kanelombe says it is illegal to sell a house or land within the traditional authority’s jurisdiction.
“It may also lead to a loss of cultural identity, family history, and access to land for farming or future development.”
