Land Control Act (Chapter 32:11).

This Act stipulates that no dealings in agricultural land, i.e. sale, transfer, lease of more than five years, exchange partition, division, etc. shall be contracted with a person not being a citizen of Botswana unless the Minister has given his/her consent to that transaction (sect. 3). This rule does not apply to companies registered under the Companies Act. Proposed transactions of this kind shall be advertised in accordance with section 5. Section 7 sets out criteria for decision making of the Minister with respect to the granting of consent. No transaction shall be registered unless it complies with provisions of this Act (sect. 8). Transactions made contrary to this Act shall be void. (10 sections)
