💡LAND GA SE MAGWINYA. BUY SMART. PLAN FIRST. DEVELOP SMART.

You cannot just buy land because it is available or affordable, then ask afterwards: “So, what can I do with it?”

That is how people get hurt financially. Before you buy land, understand the planning intelligence behind it:
• What is legally allowed?
• What is the future plan for the area?
• Is infrastructure available?
• Are surrounding land uses compatible?
• Are there restrictions?
• And does the land actually make economic sense for your intended investment?

Every plot sits within a bigger spatial plan, be it a City, town, village or masimo. Never look at the plot alone; understand the bigger picture.

Serious Investors & Companies have Town Planners as part of their advisory team and carry out feasibility studies before buying land, not when they want to build and require planning permission at council.

- The smart question is no longer: “Can I get approval?”
- It is: “What does the land feasibility and planning intelligence say before I spend my money?”

DURING ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS - why not let your land make money for you.

We are proud to announce that Ms. Taboka Malwapeng will feature as a panelist at the 3rd Edition of Entrepreneurship in Planning, taking place on Tuesday, 16 June 2026, Youth Day, at Courtyard Hotel Rosebank, Johannesburg.

As one of our seasoned Urban Planners, with triple professional registration as PITP, RTPI and CAP. Taboka currently serves as a Non-Executive Board Member of Botswana’s Special Economic Zone Authority (SEZA), mandated to transform selected strategic locations into investment-ready growth centres that attract local and foreign investors, support exports and drive Botswana’s economic diversification.

Her presence on the Pan-African Entrepreneurship track speaks to more than professional excellence. It reflects the growing call for African planners to think beyond borders and shape spaces that carry economic, institutional and regional significance.

Taboka represents JS Planning’s broader vision of becoming a regional player in Urban Planning, Development and Spatial Transformation across Africa.
