Montwedi, Mr Mk to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development

(a) Which plans have been put in place to deal with dysfunctional Communal Property Associations (CPA) and (b) what (i) total number of CPAs are considered dysfunctional in the Republic and (ii) are their names?

Reply:

a) Dysfunctional Communal Property Associations (CPA) have been identified and the dysfunctionality ranges from non-compliance with the Act, mismanagement of CPA resources as well as conflicts and disputes amongst the members. The Department has therefore in terms of section 13 of the CPA Act approached the courts having jurisdiction in the area where the CPAs are situated and applied for an order to place the Communal Property Association or Provisional Association under the administration of the Director General. The Director General has, pursuant to such orders being granted, and powers given to him/her, appointed judicial administrators to administer and manage the affairs of the association as directed by the court. This intervention has resulted in the dysfunctional CPAs being placed under administration.

 

b) (i) Six (6) CPAs are considered dysfunctional in the Republic.
