Over 100 people dispersed after teargas was fired by members of the police’s Special Field Force at Katima Mulilo yesterday, as the hunger for land spilled over into threats and the blocking of the municipality’s entrance gate.

Katima Mulilo Mayor, Charles Matengu, said the town council will not “entertain” any demands from land protestors.
