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.

ANNEXURE A OF NA-QUES 3242 OF 2022

Total number of black farmers who have benefitted from the commercialisation programme since induction:

BLENDED FINANCE (with Land Bank

AGRI BEE

NRMDP

National Red Meat Development Programme

Blended finance: with Industrial Development Finance (IDC)

There are currently 7 transactions that Land Bank approved for Blended Finance during the proof-of-concept phase in 2018 to a total funding of R163 million as shown in table below

10 Agribusinesses (black producers) as of 31 October

2022.

Total of 10 black producers who have benefitted.

The Department entered into a strategic partnership with the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) to implement the National Red Meat Development Programme (NRMDP). The programme facilitated market access (formal and informal) for Black smallholder farmers who are most disadvantaged. The NRMDP was implemented in three (3) Provinces namely: Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal and North West.

Eastern Cape (EC):

Animal intake= 571

Animals sold = 508

Farmers benefitted = 336

Income generated = R2 876 238

KwaZulu Natal (KZN):

Animal intake= 51

Animals sold = 790

Farmers benefitted = 384

Income generated: R 7 222 195

North West (Taung CFP):

Animal intake= 71

Animals sold = 84

Farmers benefitted = 33

Income generated: R464 000

Total of 753 farmers who have benefitted.

The NRMDP focuses on improving market access for smallholder farmers in order to facilitate participation in Agri-value chains. Project activities include construction of custom feeding centres, establishment of pasture fields as well as establishment of processing facilities for improved access to high value markets.

Farmers were supported in terms of market information, compliance to Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), packaging, quality control, consistency, transportation and other logistic planning and business linkages with potential buyers. The market access facilitation programme enables the NAMC to contribute to making the agricultural sector more inclusive and viable as a contributor to economic growth and transformation.

During the 2021/22 financial year, the NAMC linked 141 black smallholder farmers into the market through its market access facilitation programme.

Received applications/ Evaluation: The Dalrrd has a signed agreement with the IDC committing R1 billion over 5 years. The IDC has received R400 million as at end June 2022 and has since evaluated 28 transactions requiring total funding of R1.5 billion at end June 2022

Approved:

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?

Source

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;
2 x Lucerne mowers; and
3 x Lucerne rakes.

These implements were registered and are currently being used by the farmers in the Taung Irrigation Scheme. The above support amounted to R3 195 855.75 during the 2021/ 2022 financial year.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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. ↑

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:

South African citizens with a valid identity document involved in agriculture or value adding enterprises;
Black owned and managed farming enterprises that are commercially viable in commodities prioritised in the AAMP, Aquaculture and Forestry;
In the case of Joint Ventures, the non-black partner should have 40% but not less than 26% ownership in the enterprise;
Enterprises with 10% Farm worker profit sharing;
Transactions that are youth owned, women owned or owned by people with disability and military veterans; and
Qualifying applicants who are 60 years and above but demonstrate evidence of a successor.

3. This is a national scheme accessible to all provinces equally. The scheme is demand driven and will support applicants from all provinces. The steering committee will evaluate the spread of support and address any poor take-up from any province by engaging the bank officials in that province as well as the relevant department of agriculture.

4. No. A statement was made at the launch on 24 October 2022, which was broadcasted in local newspapers and the SABC news.

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.

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.

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?

Source
Link

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.

.

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.

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?

Source
Link

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.

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?

Source
Link

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:

(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?

Source

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.

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?

Source

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.

Reply:

1. The Department of Agriculture Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) conducts visits to CPAs as part of monitoring and/or inspecting for compliance with the Act on a continuous basis as provided in section 11(2) of the Communal Property Associations Act, 1996 (Act No. 28 of 1996). The results of these inspections are reflected in the CPA annual reports, including those referred to the Land Rights Management Facility:

Year	2012	2013	2014	2015	2016	2017	2018	2019	2020	2021	2022

2. None. Section 11 of the Communal Property Associations Act, 1996 (Act No. 28 of 1996) does not make provision for requests from members of a communal property association or provisional association to the Director General. Section 11 of the Act provides for a communal property association or provisional association to 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 the Act.

(b) Reasons for unsuccessful land reform operations in Western Cape.

Protracted legal issue which lasted for the past eight years that affected Nirwanda. During this period the farming operation had come to a halt. No lease agreement could be entered into which prevented them from qualifying for any financial assistance. This situation exposed the infrastructure on the farm to vandalism;
Loss of animals due to drought in 2020, that affected Toornitzkuil farm. Since then they could not secure any financial support and this affected their production;
Schaapskraal 1448 had no water rights on the farm which is the mains source for production support/activities;
Non-payment of utility services by Schaapskraal 1448, Zouteriview, TweeKuilen resulting in their electricity connection being cut-off which affected their production, i.e., need for electricity to pump water for irrigation;
Loss of interest of the lessee to farm that resulted in the farm not being optimally utilised;
Lack of market access and information which affected all farmers;
Limited extension services especially during production season that affected Goedehoop, Langboom farms;
Some of the members of the legal entity passed on and others left the Province;
Non-payment of utility services by some lessees resulting in cutting of electricity that is preventing production;
No communication between lessee and farm workers/occupiers as 50% shareholder – Mesco farm; and
Lack of willingness from lessee to undergo necessary training and requisite mentorship- Middelpos farm.

(b) Reasons for successful land reform operations in Western Cape.

Successful Farmers are following suggested production practices; growing different crop varieties to diversify enterprises and making use of crop rotation; obtaining crop insurance in order to stabilize farm income during times of loss; maintaining equipment and ensuring that farm facilities are in good working conditions; and
Those that are successful have mastered how the primary agriculture sector operates; registered for VAT and are able to claim for their rebate for VAT paid for agricultural inputs and machinery; and are able to obtain production loans without the help of government.

(aa) Reasons for unsuccessful land reform operations in Northern Cape

These farms are located in the Namakwa District and the area was affected by drought that led to the drought declaration. Farmers had to reduce the number of their livestock, and this affected their cash flows as well as their nett income.

(aa) Reasons for successful land reform operations in Northern Cape:

The support through Recapitalization and Development improved the production of livestock and the infrastructure of the farms. Farmers also attended various trainings that were organised by the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development with SEDA such as financial management and bookkeeping.
Permanent and temporary jobs were created during the infrastructure upgrade on the farms. Farmers were also made aware of the establishment of Agri-Parks in their Districts through which they were encouraged to market their livestock once the Agri-Park is fully functional. These farmers are now farming independently without the support of mentorship.

1. Yes.

(a) The exact land invasion start date cannot be determined; however the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) noticed land invasions on 9 March 2020 while conducting routine property inspection.

(b) DALRRD opened a case at Franklin Police Station and approached the State Attorney to get an urgent court interdict to stop the invaders.

(c) The intended beneficiaries of the property will be identified by the beneficiary selection process pending finalization of the farm eviction process.

2. Yes. DALRRD through the Office of the State Attorney has appointed an advocate who has drafted an urgent application on 7 October 2022 to place the matter on the court roll.

3. Yes.

(a) DALRRD applied for an urgent interdict to evict the invaders and is proceeding with the application. The Case Number for the interdict is 13523/22P and is set down for an interim order; the Prevention Of Illegal Eviction Act, 1998 (Act No. 19 of 1998) (PIE) application is under Case Number 13528/22P.

(b) The interdict to evict the invaders is intended to pave way for the prospective beneficiary to take full occupation of the farm and participate in commercial farming.

4. No. DALRRD has no knowledge or record of this matter, and the person (name furnished) is not traceable, therefore the Department is not in a position to respond to this question.

5. No. There is no communication or report related to any inspections of 8 March 2018 indicating any land invasion.

Masipa, Mr NP to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development

With reference to her reply to question 1952 on 11 July 2022, will she furnish Mr N P Masipa with (a) a detailed breakdown of the costs of cattle that were bought by her department for farmers in each province in the past 10 years, (b) information of the recipients of the cattle and farm names in each province in the past 10 years and (c) the relevant details of the conditions of the farms as it pertains to water rights, grazing capacity and veld conditions; (2) whether all farms are still in production; if not, (a) why not and (b) what is being done to resuscitate the farms. (3) whether there was additional support besides the provision of cattle; if not, why not; if so, what additional support was provided. (4) what (a) is the total number of applications that were received in each year in each province, (b) number of applications was declined and (c) were the reasons for declining the applications?

Reply:

(1)(a),(b) Please refer to Annexure A.

(c) For cattle farming, a farmer is not required to have water rights, especially where there is no need to augment feeds through planted pastures which are under irrigation. The farms that the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has supported rely on natural grazing. Where there is a need for additional feed due to discrepancies on the carrying capacity, farmers usually augment this with planted pastures done under dry land. As part of the support, farmers would be provided with summer and winter licks, beyond that, farmers would then have to bail grass and use it for feeding as well. When a business plan is developed, the number of animals that get approved is aligned to the carrying capacity of the farm.

(2) Yes; farms are still in production, however, at various levels, especially those that were supported during Recapitalisation and Development Programme (RADP) since they went through phases of drought.

(a),(b) Falls away.

(3) The support to these farms has been beyond just the provision of biological assets, in this case cattle. Additional support would include summer and winter licks, animal trailers, provision of on-farm infrastructure such as, fencing, boreholes, storage facilities, farm and labour houses, and operational costs, etc.

(4)(a),(b),(c) No applications were received. Since 2018 when the Land Development Support was introduced, DALRRD did not call for applications for support. DALRRD following the assessment conducted by the Entsika/Agricultural Research Council (ARC) identified and prioritised 262 farms that were categorised as medium and commercially viable to be supported. According to this system, support would then be provided to list of identified farms as per the categories mentioned earlier in line with the available budget and approved Annual Performance Plans (APPs.)

The model used by RADP never allowed for applications from individual farmers. However, the model was such that strategic partners would partner with the landowner selecting from the projects/ farms advertised. Later the model was expanded to include the mentorship programme to cover the farms that were not selected.
