On the government’s land reform programme, the President says it has now reached 25%. He was answering a question by Freedom Front Plus MP Tamarin Breedt on what he would do to ensure food security through land reform.
“House Chair, yes there have been other weaknesses that have also resulted in some failures in some of the land reform initiatives. When the ANC-led government started with the process of restoring the tenure of Black people to land, we set a target of 30% by 2023. We are now at 25%. The very outstanding economist Wandile Sehlobo, who is one of the leading Agri Black economists, has said that if we continue at this rate, by 2030 we will have exceeded the 30% that we have set for ourselves.”
