Deputy president David Mabuza told the National Assembly in Parliament  that the committee on land reform, which he chairs, was fundamentally opposed to land reform that would leave farms derelict and unproductive.

Deputy President David Mabuza says as government pursues inclusive land reform, commercial farmers have already come forward with proposed models of how the programme can be implemented successfully.

State land alone is simply not enough to redress land reform. In a country where the majority of the population is black – it is a bitter pill to swallow that only 1-2% of black farmers operate in the commercial space, writes Keamogetse Kgomanyane.

Deputy President David Mabuza says government has offered support to farmers who were affected by drought in the Free State, Northern Cape and the Eastern Cape.

The government is finalising the identification of state-owned land and will soon publish the criteria that will be used in the redistribution of land that is suitable for farming, Deputy President David Mabuza said on Wednesday.

The Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on Land Reform announced on Sunday that a new land expropriation bill had been submitted to Parliament.
