He was speaking at a ceremony to hand over title deeds for 9 000 hectares of land belonging to claimants from the GaMopedi and Seoding communities in the Northern Cape. Mabuza says the aim is to heal South Africa of the pain that the apartheid government’s land dispossession caused. “We are returning the same land today, through the rule of law as opposed to the use of force that causes pain and suffering to humanity. We do this so that we do not repeat the acts of the past that has caused so much suffering; so much pain; so much rapture to the fabric of our nation.”
Some claimants have expressed joy at receiving the title deeds while others say the process has not been entirely fair.The people of Gamopedi & Seoding, remember always that land is life, life is a function of necessity because before one can pursue religion, the arts and politics, one must first eat and be clothed. Therefore, you must work this land.
