      abstract = {In August 2017, Botswana’s parliament passed the Tribal  Land Bill, which became the Tribal Land Act no. 1 of 2018.  It shall come into operation once the minister sanctions.  Until then, the 1994 Act shall be operational. The new Act  is aimed at addressing the challenges that cannot be  effectively addressed by the operational Act. Some hail it  as progressive, but this article argues that the Act has  some limitations. Its insistence on the registration of  customary grants with the Registrar of Deeds may lead to  unintended consequences, such as family conflicts. The Act  also aims to strictly regulate the acquisition of tribal  land by non-citizens, but this will not address the rising  accumulation of land by the local elite through the market.  Oddly, the Act and the 2015 land policy contradict each  other. Commendably, the Act shall introduce an association  of land boards to assist in tackling land problems.},
