Question NW753 to the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
17 April 2024 - NW753
Mkhonto, Ms C N to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
(1) Whether there is any system in place to ensure that the price of communal land is uniform throughout the Republic; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details. (2) whether her department uses a reference guide to allocate land to foreign nationals; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
- No. There is no system in place to regulate the price for communal land since the land is held in trust by the Minister on behalf of communities and is not for sale.
- No. The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development does not use any reference guide to allocate land to foreign nationals as foreign nationals are not eligible for land allocation in terms of Government’s land reform programme.
