This comes against the backdrop of the Cabinet giving a thumbs down to the panel’s other recommendation that the Ingonyama Trust Act be reviewed or repealed.
The Cabinet has chosen to remain neutral on a recommendation made by the advisory panel on land reform that expropriation of land be undertaken in limited circumstances.
Briefing the media this week, Land Affairs Minister Thoko Didiza noted that two members of the panel, Dan Kriek and Nic Serfontein, disagreed with the majority view of the panel that recommended expropriation for land reform in limited circumstances. She said the Cabinet had not taken a position on the expropriation recommendation, one of the 73 made by the panel.
“It was one recommendation where there was no acceptance or rejection or noting because it is a work in progress undertaken by another sphere of our state, which is the legislature,” Didiza said.
