MWANZA, July 11 -- THE government has urged residents of Misungwi District in Mwanza Region to take advantage of the ongoing land surveying and formalisation exercise to resolve land disputes and prevent new conflicts between villages, individuals and different land-use areas.

Commissioner for Lands, Mr Nathaniel Mathew, made the assurance recently during a ceremony to distribute 668 land titles in Rubuga Village, Misungwi District.

He also stressed the importance of continuing to educate the public on land laws and proper land use.

He said many land disputes have resulted from the absence of legally recognised boundaries and inadequate understanding of land ownership rights.
