Yes please find highliths of my issue,I have a borrow pit bussiness in thamaga in Botswana called crown concepts pty L.T.D.There is an investigation that is currently being carried out by the secretary of the thamaga sub land board. Still, there is no written letter to crown as to what the investigation is about. It appears the investigationis done as per instruction by the kweneng land board though crown reports to the thamaga sub landboard.There is no written letter to crown as to what the investigation is about and the secretary is not willing to give out details.The secretary is not willing to give the complaint that has necessitated the investigation by the main landboard.This comes after the groundbreaking of the mogoditshane mmankgodi,kubung thamaga and Manyana Moshupa road projects.
Based on your circumstances, here's a concise draft for your letter:

Subject: Request for Mediation and Addressing Harassment by Kweneng Land Board
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally report ongoing harassment and lack of transparency by the Kweneng Land Board towards Crown Concepts Pty Ltd. Despite repeated requests, we have not received any written communication regarding the ongoing investigation into our borrow pit operations in Thamaga.
The investigation, seemingly initiated by the Kweneng Land Board, lacks clear communication and has caused significant operational disruptions. Further compounding this issue, only our competitor was invited to a meeting on 20th September, excluding us, thereby raising concerns about impartiality.
We kindly request your intervention to mediate this matter to ensure fair treatment and due process, as well as to secure a written explanation for the investigation.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter.
Yours sincerely,
Tshepo MosieleleDirector, Crown Concepts Pty Ltd

Would you like any specific details or additional issues included in the letter?
yes ,confusing is that there is a history of differences between Bokhamo and crown which were reported to the land board,enviromental affairs ,the police and other stakeholders yet only Bokhamo was present at this meeting and the ivestigation was started thereafter.The meeting attendes went to as far as our site without our consent.The president of Botswana has in the past encouraged btswana to venture into mining operations and with this happening it is discouraging to us.Furthermore it has come to light that theour competitor bokhamo made his first application for his borrow pit through the kweneng land board and not the sub land board.We are concerned of this harrasment.
It sounds like you have a strong case for legal intervention. Here's an updated draft of your letter incorporating the additional details:

Further compounding this issue, only our competitor, Bokhamo, was invited to a meeting on 20th September, excluding us, thereby raising concerns about impartiality. Additionally, meeting attendees visited our site without consent.
Historically, differences between Bokhamo and Crown Concepts have been reported to the Land Board, Environmental Affairs, thePolice, and other stakeholders, yet only Bokhamo was present at the recent meeting, which initiated the investigation. This exclusion and subsequent investigation appear suspicious.
Furthermore, Bokhamo's initial application for their borrow pit was made through the Kweneng Land Board, not the Sub Land Board, raising additional questions about procedural fairness. Our operational integrity has been further compromised as Bokhamo has closed access to our site, an issue reported but unresolved by law enforcement.
Lastly, Bokhamo has involved the Department of Environmental Affairs in a court case, alleging that we use their access route, while we face yet another investigation. This pattern of harassment coinciding with major project milestones suggests an attempt to undermine our business, contrary to the President's encouragement for Batswana to venture into mining operations.
We kindly request your intervention to mediate this matter, ensuring fair treatment, due process, and a written explanation for the ongoing investigation.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter.

yes ,he timing of this harrasment makes this suspicious. Please write a letter for Tshepo and make it more legal .I have been invited to a meeting on 17th October * by the main lanboard with no agenda and no case to answer.We have reason to believe this is a way of frustrating us so that we quit the bussines and a delaying tactic so that our permit expires without having recovering our costs and without any profit.We also concerned about the depth of the Bokhamo pit which is more than 10m though the department of mines allows *.5m maximum depth as well as no proper fencing around it.
