Minister praises work of presidential land reform panel
Land Affairs Minister Thoko Didiza has said the work done by the presidential panel on land reform was helpful to the government in the sense that somebody from external looked at weaknesses internally and made recommendations. “Some of the proposals that are in the recommendations will assist in strengthening institutions to ensure delivery process in respect of land reform is undertaken with better speed and co-ordination,” she said.
“The other legislative arrangements that are being proposed, I think, will assist us to give clarity on a number of areas which have been a bit of difficulty for government before,” Didiza said. The minister made the statements this week when she briefed the media on the panel’s recommendation that were scrutinised by Cabinet at its last meeting for the year last week Friday.
In July, the panel, which was appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, submitted its report containing 73 recommendations. Of those, the Cabinet endorsed 60, nine were not approved and three others were noted.
