At the handover ceremony to the Ubizo community in Empangeni, the deputy president said the land claim was among the first settled.
Deputy President David Mabuza on Saturday urged the Ubizo community in Northern KwaZulu-Natal to to use the land restored to them wisely and fruitfully for the collective benefit of the community and the country.
“We are here to make right those wrongs and to say to our people, here is your land and no more shall you be a slave in the land of your birth. We say today, this land of your forefathers, is now restored to you and your future generations,” he said. “Now that you have your land back, take it and keep it, use it wisely and fruitfully for the collective benefit of this community and our country. This land is an instrument of your dignity and socio-economic development. You must till this land and produce. From this land must come opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship,” Mabuza said.
“We must imagine a new generation of women who never allow men to buy their surrender with money or any other social instrument of power because they own their own land and productive capacity. We must also use this land to empower young people. They must see from this land new opportunities that will potentially change their lives. They must see this as a genuine avenue for development.
