Upon conducting research it was established that Towoomba in Bela-Bela is situated on Portion 1 of the farm Roodekuil 498 KR measuring 589.3366 hectares. The property vests with the National Department of Public Works (NDPW); it was confirmed on 11 November 1994.
The property is used by the Limpopo Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (LDARD) as a research station and to accommodate their offices servicing the area of Bela-Bela Local Municipality. DRDLR is not aware of the transaction to transfer the property to Bela-Bela Local Municipality.
The matter has since been referred to NDPW for comment as the property belongs to them.
