Question NW532 to the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
03 April 2024 - NW532
Montwedi, Mr Mk to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Considering that her department has finalised previous order claims in the Free State, (a) by what date does she intend to start with new order claims for the (i) Free State and (ii) rest of the provinces and (b) what time frames have been put in place to attend to new order claims?
Reply:
THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, LAND REFORM AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT:
(a)(i),(ii) The Constitutional Court interdicted the Commission from processing the new order claims until the Commission has finalised the old order claims lodged by 31 December 1998. The order did not direct the Commission to process new order claims in provinces where the 1998 claims have been finalised. Currently the Commission has total number of 5944 old order claims outstanding.
(b) No time frames have been put in place as the Commission is still processing the old order claims.
