Land Reform and Rural Development minister, Mzwanele Nyhontso, has met with the residents of Qumanco in Cofimvaba in the Eastern Cape over the Ncorha Dairy
Scheme which residents allege is being mismanaged.
They say they are also not benefiting as land owners. The area operates under the Communal Property Association Act. Local Chief, Zwelinqaba Mgudlwa, says a number of schemes are collapsing due to to this Act as Traditional Leaders are excluded. “The scheme employed 799 people. But now, there is not even one person employed. We used to plough maize, potatoes, cabbage and so on, but today, nothing is being done. Government is not making means to educate people who will be farmers of tomorrow.”“There are problems all over where there are CPAs. We are hoping to resolve that issue of CPAs because it is a law of the republic, it is an act of parliament.
