Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
In light of the fact that the High-Level Panel report discovered that only 5% of employed people work in agriculture, what plans and strategies has she put in place to improve the capacity of the agricultural sector to create more jobs in order to increase the employment rate in the sector? NW5335E
Reply:
The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has acknowledged the need to increase employment in agriculture. In general, growth in agriculture is two to three times more effective at reducing poverty than an equivalent amount of growth generated outside agriculture.
As the President stated in his 2022 State of the Nation Address (SONA) speech, the agricultural sector has significant potential for job creation in crops such as citrus, table and dried grapes, subtropical fruit, avocadoes, berries and nuts. Masterplans in the Agriculture and Agro-processing Sector; Cannabis; Sugar and Poultry Industries are contributing significantly to increased investment, improved production and transformation.
The Agriculture and Agro-processing Master Plan (AAMP) forms part of Government’s strategy to revitalise key sectors or our economy stimulate growth and job creation. The AAMP seeks to create 71 000 new jobs, impacting 6 500 small business and an estimated 300 000 livelihoods; further shifting black business participation in the sector from an average of 4% to 19% of market participation by 2030.
The Cannabis Master Plan prescribes a comprehensive plan of action which seeks to fully industrialise the Cannabis sector towards increase economic growth, creation of jobs and for poverty alleviation. The potential size of the Cannabis industry is estimated at approximately R 28 billion with the potential to create up to 25 000 jobs across its value chain.
The Sugar Master Plan was announced in the SONA in June 2019 and developed to guide the future growth of the sector; address a number of serious challenges faced by the sugar industry; stabilize the industry and also to ensure its long-term sustainability. Since the signing of the Master Plan, some progress has been made including the support to small-scale growers (SSGs) and industry transformation interventions. The MAFISA Loan scheme disbursed R4,032,217 to 96 farmers comprising of 1,153 beneficiaries in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal to support farming in the 2022/3 season. There is also additional support which is directly offered by the Department through the implementing agents in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. Before the intervention of the DALRRD, Mpumalanga had 673 seasonal jobs. With the DALRRD intervention, the number of new 2 jobs were increased to 1 260 seasonal jobs in Mpumalanga. In KwaZulu-Natal, 52 955 jobs have been stabilised.
In 2021, the Department completed the Poultry Master Plan which was aimed at supporting chicken farmers and processors with better production techniques and training is provided to the farmers. Through the implementation of the Poultry Master Plan, the industry has invested R800 million to upgrade production. South Africa now produces an additional one million chickens every week. A total of 1888 new jobs were created in the poultry industry to date and it is envisaged that 2600 new jobs will be created by the end of 2024

(1) No funding is provided to private companies as the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development does not do work with private companies with regards to provision of technical support to emerging farmers. However, the following Commodity Organisations are being used to provide technical support to emerging farmers:
- National Emergent Red Meat Producers Organisation (NERPO)
- South African Grain Farmers Association (SAGRA)
- Grain SA - South African Poultry Association (SAPA)
- South African Pork Producers’ Organisation
- Deciduous Fruit Development Chamber (DFDC)

Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether there has been any progress on the process of appointing a Master Data Specialist, who should have been appointed by the end of September 2020; if not, why not; if so, what progress has been made in this regard?
Reply:
Yes. The Office of the Special Master had consulted with the Minister and Director General of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) (DG) and obtained concurrence from Executive Management. The Court granted the Office of the Special Master permission to fill the two additional posts, but the filling of the posts is subject to the job evaluation process.
A job description was developed for the post by benchmarking against similar posts with the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME). The benchmark job evaluation process for the post of Master Data Specialist was conducted for similar posts in the defunct departments (DAFF and DRDLR) and within the DPME and the job evaluation (JE) results for both posts were salary level (SL) 13 that were approved by the Minister on 11 May 2021. However, the processes for the development of the job descriptions and the JE benchmarking took longer than anticipated and the Special Master requested that filling the position not be continued. The Special Master was seeking alternative solutions in reconfiguring the roles and the budget repurposing to rather appoint graduates intended for the research roles, and this was envisaged that post-doctoral and or post-graduate degree holders in the Humanities field will be appointed as field research leaders while the auxiliary staff will be first and honours degree holders in Geography / Survey / Agriculture/ History/ Business Administration / Economics, etc. These disciplines bear direct relevance to using innovative technological tools to build evidence and embed sustainable livelihoods in land claims resolutions. The field research leaders will be expected to participate in delivering capacity development and training workshops with the Special Master and his core staff to develop the capabilities of existing departmental staff working on labour tenant claims resolution. The Special Master was advised to seek approval from the Minister to reconfigure the roles, instead of the two approved positions, namely 1 X Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist and 1 X Master Data Specialist.
To institutionalise the Office of the Special Master within DALRRRD, special focus will be given in the Fit-for-Purpose Project to restructure and repurpose current posts to support the Office of the Special Master as follows:
- Permanent establishment of a national unit with a provincial footprint (provincial and district level) that will address the labour tenant functions;
- Mapping of business process for labour tenants;
- Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs); and
- Determine capacity requirements and create post establishments to address the need.
DALRRD is therefore, in the process to fill the following positions allocated to the Office of the Special Master:
- 1 x Systems and Operations Manager post filled.
- 1 x Programme Administrator and Office Manager post filled.
- 1 x Corporate Affairs and Stakeholder Manager post filled.
- 1 x Office Assistant post filled.
- 1 x National Programme Manager post. Post advertised and the closing date for the advertisement was 20221014. Filling of the post is anticipated by 28 February 2023.
- 1 x Programme Coordinator. Seconded from the DALRRD.
- 1 x Senior Administrative Officer post. Filling of the post through the Recruitment and Selection or Transfer Processes and filling of the post is anticipated by 28 February 2023.
- 1 x Messenger post. Filling of the post through the Recruitment and Selection or Transfer Processes and filling of the post is anticipated by 28 February 2023.

Masipa, Mr NP to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Considering that at the Subtrop Transformation Summit held in Tzaneen on 26 May 2022, she pointed out that the Government was ready to deal with the contentious issue of national communal land tenure and in taking steps towards the regularisation of communal land rights, what (a) percentage and (b) hectarage of communal land is currently not surveyed in (i) the Republic and (ii) each of the nine provinces?
Reply:
(a)(b)(i),(ii) The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) is not in a position to indicate the extent of communal land currently not surveyed in the Republic and in each nine provinces. However, DALRRD will investigate the extent of properties falling under communal land that are still to be surveyed in the Republic and the report will be provided.

Masipa, Mr NP to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
What (a) are the (i) detailed estimates and (ii) all important variables of the long- term damage of the KwaZulu-Natal floods on the sugar sector and (b)(i) total number of farmers ceased operations and exited the market due to losses incurred in the floods and (ii) is her department doing to help them; (2) what (a) are the details of other crops that were affected by the KwaZulu-Natal floods and (b) actions are being taken to support affected farmers?
Reply:
(1)(a),(i) Information received from five of the Millers (Umfolozi, Malelane, Sezela, Eston and Noodsberg) indicates that the Small-Scale Growers (SSGs) deliveries against expected delivery estimates are behind the mill percentage as at the end of October 2022. Out of the five Millers, two Milling areas (Umfolozi and Malelane) have indicated that SSGs will catch-up with deliveries by the end of the season. The remaining Millers which are Sezela, Eston and Noodsberg plus Felixton, have indicated that SSGs will not deliver full season sugarcane estimates and will carryover cane into 2023/2024. Commercial growers are on track and will deliver the estimated tonnage.
(ii) The harvesting cycle of sugar cane in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) ranges from 12 to 24 months and the main affected areas are on the 16-month cycle. It should be noted that off farm infrastructure (i.e. local roads, access roads, bridges etc) and on farm infrastructure which broadly inhibits optimal operations, will take some time to repair. The latter is further dependent on the availability of resources that its anticipated to be reprioritised based on the disaster declaration process.
(b)(i) The April 2022 report issued by the SA Canegrowers, indicates that 308 producers across five regions in KZN have been affected. The report does not indicate ceasing of operation but indicated the inability to deliver to the market due to extensive on and off farm infrastructure damage. The report further indicates that 2516.65 hectors have experienced severe root damage and thus necessitates replating of the hectors. The estimated damage for infield is R 194, 9 million while the on-farm infrastructure is R 27, 9 million.
(ii) The KZN provincial Department of Agriculture is part of the response teams that are engaged in the assessment process and further ensuring that a speedy provision of support is in place and operation. It is however noted that a ratoon programme(replanting) with an estimated amount of R 7, 5 million has been secured to assist the small-scale sugar growers in the rural parts of the province.
(2)(a) The South African Farmers Development Association (SAFDA) report of April 2022 indicates that heavy rains in the province had devastating impact on several farmers who lost both cash crops and in the main livestock and the support infrastructure. A total of 5178.53 hectors of crops were damaged costing farmers a total of R 236 979 436. Livestock farmers were faced with a loss totalling R 61 686 150.
(b) The main income generating activities are supported through the ratoon programme while activities in terms of crops and livestock, will benefit through the provincial reprioritisation of allocated funds to ensure that the food security element for affected households is maintained. The latter stems from the fact that a disaster has been declared and thus allows for the reprioritisation of interventions or reassignment of funds to be implemented.

Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether there has been any progress on the process of appointing a Master Data Specialist, who should have been appointed by the end of September 2020; if not, why not; if so, what progress has been made in this regard?
Reply:
A court order issued on 10 December 2019, against the former Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, now Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD), by the Land Claims Court (Court), ordered the appointment of the Special Master for Labour Tenants. The Special Master does not report to the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, but will supervise, oversee and monitor the functions of the Department regarding outstanding Labour Tenants’ claims.
The same court order, dated 10 December 2019, also granted permission to the Special Master to appoint consultants to provide opinions, reports and other assistance. The position of the Master Data Specialist was subjected to a job evaluation process, to ensure that the correct salary level was determined before the post was submitted to be filled through a recruitment and selection process. A job description was developed for the post by benchmarking against similar posts with the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation. The process however took longer than anticipated and the Special Master requested that the process not be continued. The Special Master was seeking alternative solutions in filling lower-level positions that can assist in the administrative functions of his Office.
The Department is, therefore, in the process to fill the following positions allocated to the Office of the Special Master:
- 1 x Systems and Operations Manager post filled.
- 1 x Programme Administrator and Office Manager post filled.
- 1 x Corporate Affairs and Stakeholder Manager post filled.
-
-
- 1 x Office Assistant post filled.
- 1 x National Programme Manager post. Post advertised and the closing date of the advertisement is on 20221014. Filling of the post is anticipated to be by 20230101.
- 1 x Programme Coordinator. Seconded from the DALRRD.
- 1 x Senior Administrative Officer post. Filling of the post through a recruitment and selection or transfer processes and filling of the post is anticipated to be by 20230101.
- 1 x Messenger post. Filling of the post through a recruitment and selection or transfer processes and filling of the post is anticipated to be by 20230101.

Montwedi, Mr Mk to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
With regard to her visit in Taung in the North West province in 2020, where she made commitments which were not implemented thus far, by what date will (a) the farmers of Taung see the implementation of the Farmer Production Support Unit model and (b) she (i) revamp and (ii) return the Lesedi stores to be used by farmers in Taung?
Reply:
(a),(b)(i)-(ii) DALRRD is unable to commit a specific date due to the following reason: in 2021, the Directorate: Rural Infrastructure Development within the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) in the North West Province planned to implement the first phase of the project by fencing the Old Lesedi Building premises and renovating the guardroom to enable DALRRD to provide security. Phase 2 of the project was planned to unfold in the following years. However, the plans for infrastructure for the implementation failed due to alleged illegal tenants occupying the Old Lesedi building, who refuse to move. The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is in the process of negotiating with the mentioned tenants.
However, an alternative site for livestock farmers was identified and some work was done such as paving of the access road into the auction pen site i.e. the identified Farmer Production Support Unit (FPSU) site; renovation of the existing two houses; drilling and equipping of the borehole; construction of the guard room for security personnel; construction of kraals for small stock and construction of the pavilion at the auction pen.
In terms of production and mechanisation support, DALRRD through the Directorate: Cooperatives and Enterprise Development facilitated the establishment of the Taung FPSU and has supported these farmers with the following:
- 98kw Tractor;
- 1 x small Lucerne baler;

Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
In light of the R3,2 billion Blended Finance Scheme with the Land Bank to assist farmers in which her department and the specified bank have each invested R325 million in each year, which will effectively result in the creation of a R650 million fund a year which will grow to R1,95 billion in three years, how does she and her department plan to ensure that (a) funds are not wasted through corruption and wasteful expenditure and (b) the fund benefits small and medium-scale farmers?
Reply:
a) To ensure that funds are not wasted through corruption and wasteful expenditure the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has done the following:
- Defined the categories of producers (smallholder, medium commercial and large commercial) to be supported through Blended Finance Scheme;
- Developed the grant gliding scale per category of farmer to be supported which clearly outlines the grant cap per producer category that cannot be exceeded;
- Ensured that the operational manual clearly spell out processes to be followed before funds are released to qualifying beneficiaries;
- Ensured that there is a checklist that guides the Fund Administrator on what information should be produced before payments are made; and
- Furthermore, the credit committee’s responsibility is to ensure that only commercially viable applications are supported and the grant caps per category are not exceeded.
b) To ensure the fund benefits smallholder and medium scale commercial farmers the DALRRD has done the following:
- Signed an agreement with Land Bank to prioritise only smallholder and medium scale commercial farmers;
- Developed the Economic Benefit Criteria calculator that automatically reject large scale producer applications once the information of the farmer is populated into the calculator;
- The Blended Finance Scheme Steering Committee will receive performance reports from the bank and evaluate if the programme is being implemented as agreed, and the targeted beneficiaries are being supported; and
- The scheme will be subjected to audit by the bank annually to assess if the programme is being implemented as agreed and if the controls put in place are adequate.

Kruger, Mr HC to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
What number of business incubators that operate within the agricultural sector are (a) government funded (b) privately funded and (c) internationally funded?
Reply:
The management of business incubators is not within the mandate of the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development. This mandate is with Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA).
(a),(b),(c) Falls away.
13 December 2022 - NW4537
Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
With reference to the trained youth under the National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) and the current non-quantifiable socio-economic impact of the members of the NARYSEC corps, what are the relevant details of the steps that she and/or her department is taking to provide the youth with support and assistance which will assist them with the use of their skills to make a living and ultimately allow the entry into the economy?
Reply:
The Minister of Agriculture Land Reform and Rural Development approved a revised NARYSEC Policy, 2022, to ensure youth will be recruited with the purpose of securing employment opportunities on graduation. The Department achieves this by signing employment agreements with government and the private sector stakeholders.
The 2010 Narysec Policy recruited youth with the sole purpose of up-skilling youth to enter the job market, but this policy didn’t result in the desired employment creation opportunities.
The new revised Narysec Policy, 2022 focuses on three main intervention areas for sustained employment, by recruiting youth for skills development programmes based on the following:
- negotiated guaranteed, job placement opportunities after graduation;
- established youth enterprises supported by the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) and the Department of Small Business; and
- re-skilling/training and provision of job placement opportunities for youth trained under the 2010 Narysec Policy.

Masipa, Mr NP to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Given that the high inflationary environment has meant that most emerging farmers are shouldering high input costs as they prepare for the 2022-23 farming season, what steps has her department taken to cushion emerging farmers against high input costs in order to ensure a successful farming season?
Reply:
The below three tables highlight in summary, the state of readiness with regards to the upcoming planting season. The funds are made available to assist producers with production inputs.
- Table 1 depicts the different commodities and the hectares to be covered. In total approximately 81 000 of hectares will be planted with different commodities;
- Table 2 depicts the state of preparation of hectares per province;
- Table 3 depicts cost incurred on grain production support; and
- Based on the data received from all provinces, a total of 29 514 producers will benefit from the intervention. This constitutes 11 809 males and 17 704 females.

Breedt, Ms T to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether she will furnish Ms T Breedt with a breakdown of how the R3,2 billion of the Blended Finance Scheme (BFS) launched by her department and the Land Bank to assist farmers, as indicated in the media statement dated 24 October 2022, will be spent; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) what are the requirements to qualify for the BFS; (3) how will the funds be broken down demographically; (4) whether she will make a statement on the matter; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. Yes the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has committed R325 million annually for the next three years and has signed an agreement with Land Bank for 10 years, bringing the commitment of DALRDD to not less than R3,25 billion over the 10 year period.
The funds will be used to blend with the loan that Land Bank will issue to black smallholder and medium scale commercial producers at 60% grant for smallholder producers but not exceeding R15 million per transaction and 50% grant for medium scale commercial producers but not exceeding R30 million per transaction.
The Blended Fund facility will be used by the parties to provide loan and grant funding to black producers or majority black owned enterprises for:
- The acquisition of primary agricultural land parcels and/or commercially viable agricultural sector value chain operating entities (agri-businesses);
- Support existing operations for expansion in production on privately owned or land reform farms (Brownfields and Greenfields operations);
- The purchasing of capital equipment and infrastructure (“CAPEX”);
- Working capital and/or production loan (“Production Facility”); and
- Insurance pool provision for subsidisation of insurance cover for the applicable farmers (capped at 6% (six percent) of each total Grant Funding Facility amount).
2. The following are the requirements to qualify for Blended Finance Scheme:

Kruger, Mr HC to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether small-, medium- and micro-enterprise farmers are defined in her department’s policies on the agricultural sector; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
In terms of the Beneficiary Selection and Land Allocation Policy, producers in the agricultural sector are categorised as follows:
- “Household Producer (Vulnerable)”: Is defined as a producer or entity that produces primarily for household consumption[1] and has limited resources and skills to operate a market-oriented production system. This category includes child headed households and households producing on communal land and commonages that are registered as indigents or they meet the criteria for registration as indigents with their municipality.
- “Household Producer (Subsistence)”: Is defined as a producer or entity that produces primarily for household consumption. These producers are not or would not be classified as indigents by their municipality. They may market limited surplus production with an annual turnover of less than R50 000.
- “Medium Scale Commercial Producer”: Is defined as an individual or entity that produces and sells agricultural commodities for the purpose of making a profit. These are established enterprises producing for market to make a profit with an annual turnover ranging from R1 000 001 – R10 million) and are eligible for VAT registration.
These categorisations are also contained and expanded on as outlined in the draft National Policy on Comprehensive Producer Development Support.
-
The word household consumption includes own use of non-edible agricultural products such as cotton etc. ↑

Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether, with regard to the steep challenges the Republic is facing in relation to issues such as food insecurity and unemployment, her department has improved its rural strategy which would promote and increase rural incomes; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether, considering that importing food increases the cost of food for South Africans, her department has considered the establishment and/or support of a southern regional trade bloc as a way to create a more food secure region through the exploitation of diversity in the region; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. Yes. The Integrated Rural Development Sector Strategy is being processed for gazetting for public comments in the second quarter of 2023. The strategy focuses on strengthening four pillars:
- The rural economy;
- Community and human development;
- Rural safety and social cohesion; and
- Cooperative governance and local government.
The Strategy seeks to coordinate and manage sectoral rural development interventions and catalytic projects addressing challenges facing rural communities in line with the National Development Plan (2030) and District Development Model (DDM).
Some of the work mentioned in the strategy has commenced already. These include improving farm access and village access rural roads, working with the Department of Cooperative Governance (DCOG) and Provincial Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development in the identification and establishment of 5 agri-hubs and agro-processing facilities; supporting at least 71 farmer production support units to become functional to adequately support smallholder farmers for food production and commercial activities by 2024 and to implement, in the medium to long-term, the development and support of 7 other agri-parks including identification, drawing and locking in of investors through a dedicated investment strategy. This also includes targeted land redistribution to rural women, youth and persons with disabilities.
The strategy also emphasises working with the key sector departments on other rural economic challenges e.g., the rehabilitation of dams and rural bridges. The Department has further aligned the strategy with the Agriculture and Agro-Processing Masterplan, working with the National House on Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership, and will identify catalytic projects in terms of the 8 other approved masterplans with the relevant lead departments.
The strategy is aligned to the Rural Safety Strategy and the Department currently participates in the Rural Safety Priority Committees. The Department will also partner with the Department of Basic Education on the development of Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDs) in rural areas and the scaling up of the Rural Education Assistant Programme in collaboration with the Department of Basic Education, targeting unemployed rural youth to improve literacy and numeracy in rural schools.
2. The decision to establish regional trade blocks is beyond the scope of the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development. Such decisions are usually led by the Department of International Relations and Trade and the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition. Additionally, the Republic of South Africa has ratified the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which works through the regional value chains to promote food security initiatives in the continent. One of the regional value chains that are promoted under the AfCFTA is agriculture and agro-processing. Under the afore-mentioned regional value chains, the various regional economic communities (REC’s) are encouraged to develop agricultural hubs that are aligned to prioritized commodities such as horticulture, grains, tea, poultry, etc.

Tito, Ms LF to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Noting how communal property associations are not regulated to an extent that they abuse the elderly beneficiaries out from an otherwise well-meaning restitution programme, what measures has she taken to extend the powers of her department, so as to deal with the office bearers of communal property associations who fleece the beneficiaries?
Reply:
Section 11 of the Communal Property Association Act 28 of 1996 provides for:
“An association or provisional association registered under this Act shall, at the prescribed times, furnish prescribed documents and information to the Director-General in order to enable him or her to monitor compliance with the provisions of the relevant constitution and this Act”.
The Director-General may undertake an inspection of the affairs of an association or provisional association. The Director General may; for the purposes of this ‘section-
- inspect and remove for copying any records, reports and other documents relating to the affairs of an association or provisional association; and
- subpoena persons who may have relevant information or documentation in respect of the affairs of an association or provisional association to appear before him or her to provide information or documentation in relation to the affairs of the association or provisional association, if the attendance of such persons cannot reasonably be procured otherwise.”

(1) With regard to the increase in land invasions, more so in rural areas, what measures has her department put in place to ensure the security of land boundaries. (2) whether there have been stricter protective measures for (a) women and (b) persons of colour in the attempts to protect land; if not, why not, in each specified case; if so, what are the relevant details in each specified case; (3) what are the relevant details of the steps that are being taken by her department to ensure that agricultural land is not compromised for residential developments, and simultaneously attending to the needs of those who seek land for residential purposes?
Reply:
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
WRITTEN REPLY
QUESTION 3293
1. Where the farms belong to the state, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) makes use of the state land available by allocating the land in line with the Beneficiary Selection and Land Allocation Policy to deserving beneficiaries. Furthermore, if the land is invaded, the Department engages the invaders and where there are no agreements, legal processes are taken to legally evict invaders from state farms.
2. No.
(a) and (b) There are no stricter measures for women and persons with colour. Measures put in place are applicable to everyone utilizing state farms.
3. DALRRD administers the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act (SALA), 1970 (Act No. 70 of 1970) to manage and preserve agricultural land for agricultural production.
Section 3(f) of SALA states that no area of jurisdiction, local area, development area, peri-urban area or other area referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition of 'agricultural land' in section 1, shall be established on, or enlarged so as to include, any land which is agricultural land. As such DALRRD receives and evaluates change of land use applications, assesses the development application based on the agricultural planning factors such as land capability, grazing capacity and crop suitability. Should the proposed residential development lead to direct and cumulative impact on agricultural production, the developer is advised to consider alternative site for balanced utilization of the natural resources.
To strengthen DALRRD’s abilities to preserve agricultural land, DALRRD developed the Preservation and Development of Agricultural land Bill which is currently in the parliamentary process. The Bill calls for the delineation of high potential and unique agricultural land for agricultural protection and for the establishment of agricultural sector plans.
To address the needs of those who seek land for residential development, DALRRD has embarked on a process to delineate areas of high potential agricultural land for cultivation and grazing purposes in order to guide the development based on the land capabilities for optimal use. Areas of low potential are demarcated for uses other than agriculture to accommodate other socio-economic activities.
DALRRD has developed guidelines to guide municipalities when developing land use schemes noting their roles in implementing the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (Act No.16 of 2013), specifically section (24) which stipulates that municipalities must develop a wall-to-wall Land Use Scheme (LUS) aimed to regulate the use of land within a municipal area.
DALRRD collaborates with municipalities on development of land use schemes to ensure proper zoning regarding the use of high potential agricultural land for agricultural purposes is implemented. DALRRD’s involvement on the land use scheme will aid the municipality to implement a balanced mechanism to cater for developments and agriculture without compromising sustainability.
Finally, the Beneficiary Selection and Land Allocation Policy is meant to allocate land for various purposes including for residential use.

A comparative analysis of the properties that have been restored to Cele Community versus those that have been claimed by the Qwabe Community will reveal that there is no competition between the properties claimed by either of the two communities.
Finally, it is important to note that the restitution process deals with the restoration of land rights to individuals or communities who were dispossessed of their land rights after 19 June 1913, but does not extend to settling disputes regarding traditional boundaries of communities, which is what the dispute between the Qwabe Community and Cele Community may be about. The dispute about the jurisdictional boundaries must be referred to COGTA for resolution.

Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
How has the African Continental Free Trade Area been used by her department as a policy instrument to gain markets for the Republic’s agricultural products?
Reply:
The Department has been part of the development and adoption of the agreed upon Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Policy Framework. The Department will, therefore, consistently apply this to gain markets through the harmonised standards that align the African SPS system with international science-based standards, border processes, sharing of information and technical capacity building.
This Policy Framework is guided by the World Trade Organisation SPS Agreement and International Standards Setting Organisation (Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), International Office of Epizootics (OIE). Therefore, South African agricultural products will gain markets through the harmonised standards and the specific protocols that would be negotiated at a bilateral level.
The AfCFTA market access pillar has been concluded with only a few outstanding technical issues, particularly the finalization of tariff offers, rules of origin and customs-related matters. At a policy level, the Department will domesticate the relevant legal policy instrument to facilitate the effective implementation of the Agreement. The AfCFTA Sanitary and Phytosanitary Annex will be incorporated into the DALRRD’s policy to process trade under the AfCFTA Agreement. This will help to ensure smooth access to the African market while ensuring that good quality standards in respect of food, plant & animal health are maintained. The Department will further embark upon trade promotion programmes to ensure detailed awareness and knowledge of the AfCFTA agreement and its market access requirements.
Through an Interdepartmental forum including the South African Revenue Services and the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (SARS and the dtic), the Department will also work to ensure that member countries respect and comply with the agreed rules of trade. Where implementation challenges arise, the Department, through this forum, will work to resolve them using the agreed legal instruments such as the Dispute Settlement Mechanism in the agreement.

Montwedi, Mr Mk to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
With reference to the 2020-21 Annual Report wherein her department had set a target of 1 000 labour tenants applications to finalize, but only 108 applications were finalised, even though she had appointed a special master of labour tenants who has been working with her department to expedite the settlement of labour tenants land claim, (a) what total amount did her department spend on appointing the special master and (b) was there value for money in the appointment since her department failed dismally to meet the target of 1 000 claims to be finalised in the 2020-21 financial year?
Reply:
a) The Special Master was appointed by the Land Claims Court and not by the Department of Agriculture Land Reform and Rural Development.
b) Falls away.
30 November 2022 - NW4152
Montwedi, Mr Mk to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
With reference to the 200 farmers in Kagisano Molopo Local Municipality in the North West that were allocated land in an area of about 300 000 ha in the former South African Development Trust farms, who have been struggling with underground water since they were allocated those farms whereas the former department of Land Affairs commissioned a study that advised the department to provide bulk water services to those farmers around 2004, but nothing has happened thus far, (a) what are the reasons that her department has failed to ensure that bulk water is supplied to the farmers and (b) what was the amount in loss of production as a result of her department’s failure to ensure the provision of bulk water supply to the farmers?
Reply:
a) The provision of bulk water services is the mandate of the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS). The project for bulk water supply at the time, was initiated by the District Municipality, Department of Water Affairs and their associated water management entities with whom the competence for water management, supply and distribution resides. The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) however, has a protocol in place with DWS on water for the sector related subject. DALRRD will therefore utilise this existing collaboration mechanism to refer this matter to DWS to look at the bulk water challenges for these producers.
Although water remains a scarce resource in the country and Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District in particular, it should further be noted that the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development has always ensured that where possible, South African Development Trust farms are not severely affected, through the following interventions:
- Some farmers were drilled boreholes to use underground water in areas where water is available;
- Farmers are continuously encouraged to cooperate with each other to jointly address water scarcity challenge and that had made their farming businesses profitable;
b) There has never been reports of production losses in the area (cattle production area) hence a high number of emerging farmers in this district. However, DALRRD will engage DWS, who is mandated for bulk water provision, to determine what can be done to resolve this matter.

What are the relevant details of her department’s readiness to deal with the season of locust outbreaks?
Reply:
The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has appointed locust control contractors to control the locust outbreak in all locust outbreak areas in Eastern Cape, Free State, Northern Cape, and Western Cape Provinces.
Personal protective equipment for the locust control contractors has been procured. DALRRD will be providing spray pumps and pesticides for control of the locust outbreak.
DALRRD is also in the process of advertising a tender for appointment of a helicopter service provider to be on standby to complement the ground locust control contractors if a need arises.

Shaik Emam, Mr AM to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Given the lessons we have learnt as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine, what is her department doing to increase the production of (a) wheat, (b) maize and (c) other agricultural products to ensure that the Republic is self-sufficient?
Reply:
In order to ensure the production of key grains such as wheat, maize and other agricultural products the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) focuses its efforts on:
- Breeding for high-yielding cultivars and distributing production guidelines;
- Management of plant pests and diseases;
- Release of new varieties with improved performance; and
- Development support to black producers.
Breeding for high-yielding cultivars and distributing production guidelines:
a) DALRRD together with the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) collaborates with partners and role players across value chains to increase agricultural production and productivity of wheat, maize, and other agricultural products to ensure that the Republic is self-sufficient as follows:
- Increase local production of wheat and reduce reliance on imports by breeding for high-yielding cultivars and distributing production guidelines and making information on cultivar choices widely available to producers across major wheat production areas. Production guidelines give farmers information about cultivars that yield more in their respective production areas. Furthermore, better price on wheat has encouraged more farmers to plant wheat this year than in previous years. Expansion of wheat production and other grains in the Eastern Cape is being pursued with a view to initiate wheat breeding programmes directed at releasing high-yielding cultivars for the Eastern Cape.
b) South Africa is currently self-sufficient in maize and is experiencing increased production levels in other crops such as soybean. The ARC conducts National Cultivar Evaluation Trials on an annual basis in collaboration with seed companies, farmers and other stakeholders to ensure increased production and productivity of key crop commodities. These trials are essential for producers to determine cultivars that are mostly adapted to specific production areas with respect to yield, stability and major pests and diseases and therefore crucial for farmers to make correct cultivar choices. Results are disseminated widely in the form of cultivar recommendation booklets, reports, popular publications as well as the ARC website. Diagnostic services are rendered to producers on soil health, pests and diseases together with information on suitable production practices, among others. Regular training services are conducted across provinces focusing on emerging farmers to capacitate them on the efficient and sustainable production of different crops. Emphasis is placed on the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices such as conservation agriculture and drought-tolerant cultivars. Crop production manuals, such as the Maize Information Guide (MIG), are also available on cell phone Applications (Apps) and updated regularly.
Management of plant pests and diseases:
Surveillance for Tilletia indica (Karnal bunt for wheat) is ongoing and all infested areas are placed under quarantine to control the movement of infested host materials in order to reduce the spread of the disease. Regulatory measures are also in place to prevent the further spread and release of new varieties with improved performance;
Import measures are in place to reduce the risk of the introduction of Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease (MLND) of maize into South Africa. MLND causes stunting, leaf necrosis, premature plant death, malformed partially filled ears, etc. in maize.
Following the introduction of the Fall Armyworm (FAW) in South Africa, the following measures were put in place:
- Surveillance for FAW was initiated and it ensures early detection of the pest and leads to rapid response.
- As collaboration is important in dealing with emergency response to plant pests, a steering committee, comprising of DALRRD, provincial departments, scientists and other industry role players, was formed and it meets regularly. The steering committee discusses best management strategies for the FAW.
- Regulatory measures are in place by way of making amendments to Control Measures R.110 of the Agricultural Pests Act 36 of 1983.
Chemicals to control FAW were distributed to the affected provinces and farmers/growers were encouraged to apply registered chemicals while maize is still at an early stage to suppress FAW.
Release of new varieties with improved performance:
c) The attached tables summarise the number of new varieties released under the Plant Breeder’s Right Act, 1976 as well as the Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) approvals. The availability of new and improved plant varieties contributes to the sustainability and competitiveness of the production of individual commodities.

Development support to black producers
The DALRRD implements a number of farmer support and development programmes such as the Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme and Ilima/Letsema conditional grants aimed at promoting and facilitating agricultural development and increased production by beneficiaries of land reform or other black producers who have acquired land privately. In the 2022/23 financial year, these programmes are targeting to put 88 867 ha of land under the production of which 90% would be grains. The table below reflect the planned production in 2022/23 per province through these conditional grants:

Van Der Walt, Ms D to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
What number of requests have been received by the Director-General of her department under section 11(6)(d) of the Communal Property Associations Act, Act 28 of 1996, to (a) require the members of an association to conduct an election for a new management committee where the integrity, impartiality of effectiveness of the incumbent committee or a member of that committee was placed in question, (b) undertake an enquiry into the activities of an association and (c) obtain annual financial records from an association since 1 January 2012?
Reply:
(a)(b),(c) None. Section 11(6)(d) of the Communal Property Associations Act, 1996 (No. 28 of 1996) does not make provision for members of an association to request the Director General of the Department of Agriculture Land Reform and Rural Development to conduct an election for a new management committee, undertake an enquiry into the activities of an association and obtain annual financial records from an association.

Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether she has found that any labour tenant applications have been lost and/or misplaced; if not, is there any possibility to (a) reopen the application process and (b) extend the cut-off date for this purpose; if so, can such applications be located?
Reply:
No. However, the Lost Claims Strategy has been developed in partnership with the Special Master and Association for Rural Advancement (AFRA) to address any claims that may have been identified as lost or misplaced in the process by the applicant, the appointed service providers or the Department during the settlement process.
a) No, the former Department of Land Affairs worked with AFRA in KwaZulu-Natal and the Transvaal Rural Action Committee in Mpumalanga on a campaign to create awareness in communities on farms to assist them to lodge their labour tenant claims. The two organizations managed the process and submitted the applications in terms of section 16(1) of the Land Reform: Labour Tenants Act, 1996 to the then Department for processing. The labour tenancy system was abolished and therefore the re-opening of applications will not be possible.
b) No, section 16(1) of the Land Reform: Labour Tenants Act, 1996, provides that all labour tenant claims were to be lodged not later than 31 March 2001 as legislated by an Act of Parliament; therefore, the cut-off date is not an administrative decision, but a statutory provision.

Masipa, Mr NP to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
In light of the fact that The Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture, Corruption and Fraud in the Public Sector including Organs of State, has now confirmed that the funds that were supposed to have been used to support the beneficiaries of the Vrede Dairy Farm project was channelled towards the Gupta wedding, (a) what steps have been taken against the implicated officials in her department of agriculture in the Free State and (b) has her department instituted any actions to recover the funds that went to the Gupta wedding instead of supporting the beneficiaries of the specified project?
Reply:
a) None. The Vrede Dairy project was funded from two streams of funding which is the Equitable Share and R50 million was approved from the Comprehensive Agriculture Support Programme (CASP) to co-fund with the province and the private investors. R20 million of the R50 million of CASP funds was spent on infrastructure development and the CASP funds were confirmed to have been spent on the ‘cow hotel’ which is the facility that houses the cows and the milking parlour; the dam; erection of the border fence; access roads to the farm; the processing facility and the purchase of 300 Friesland cows.
When the Mail and Guardian published stories around corruption related to the Vrede Dairy Farm, a national delegation led by the delegated transferring officer which included the DALRRD dairy specialist, the Chief Economist and the Chief Director: Food Security visited the farm to confirm if everything as was presented and approved by DALRRD, was in place. The team confirmed the infrastructure against the funds spent, but was unhappy about the sequencing of activities which went against South African regulations and technical standards and therefore recommended that the funds be stopped until the province had complied. The CASP conditional grants were stopped and the remaining R30 million was then approved for diversion to other CASP projects in the Free State. The province never requested further funding for the Vrede Dairy Project from CASP. Therefore, DALRRD had no further dealings with the Vrede Dairy Project until we were requested to indicate why we had stopped our funding to the project. The implicated officials are in the employ of the Free State Department of Agriculture and the implicated CFO and Head of the Department have since left the Free State Department of Agriculture.
b) No. As stated in (a) above, the R20 million CASP fund was accounted for on the infrastructure and the cows purchased. The remaining allocation to the project was stopped and diverted to other projects because DALRD was not satisfied about the sequencing of activities as well as compliances to South African regulations and technical standards.

Graham-Maré, Ms SJ to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
What is the status of the land claim on the farm Edenvale in the Graaff-Reinet district that was submitted by a certain person (name and details furnished) in 2008; (2) Whether the land claim has been registered in the name of the specified person; if not, (a) who was the successful claimant, (b) on what criteria were they successful and (c) on what date was the matter finalised?
Reply:
(1) The farm Edenvale, in the Graaf Reinet district, Eastern Cape Province, is not reflected in the database records of the land claims that were submitted before the cut-off date of 31 December 1998 nor in the database records of claims lodged during the 2014/2015/2016 lodgement period. No claim was lodged on this farm.
(2)(a),(b),(c) Falls away.
