05 December 2017 - NW3625
Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether (a) his department and/or (b) any entity reporting to him own land; if so, in each case, (i) where is each plot of land located, (ii) what is the size of each specified plot and (iii) what is each plot currently being used for?
Reply:
a) The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development does not own land. This is in view of the existing legislation that governs the immovable assets in particular State Land Disposal Act No. 48 of 1961 and Government Immovable Asset Management Act No. 19 of 2007.
b) The National Prosecuting Authority, Special Investigating Unit and Legal Aid South Africa have informed me that they do not own any land.
