The former finance minister says according to research, SA is well on its way to meeting its land reform targets set by the NDP, which is being ignored by those pushing for the constitutional amendments.

According to the BER research, by September 2020, of the 23.3 million hectares committed to land reform in the NDP's integrated and inclusive rural economy chapter, the redistribution of 15.56 million hectares [67%] had been achieved. The study showed that:

4.86 million hectares had been redistributed via government programmes to black, coloured and Indian South Africans;farmland acquired by the state through therestitution through financial compensation accounted for 2.34 million hectares;0.62 million hectares were acquired by the state for non-agri redistribution purposes.

“Now this is quite remarkable because if you look at the kind of debates that the country lives through in respect of the amendments to section 25 of the constitution, you will not for a moment believe that we have advanced two-thirds of the way on where we want to be,” said Manuel.“And this is what I think is important from this entire experience is that evidence be used to inform policy-making.

“So these are issues of fundamental importance, but I draw attention to the fact that if you merely trap what the BER has done, then I think it helps us to understand what the nature of the challenge is. Why are we putting so much energy into a matter which seems to be well taken care of? That needs to be advanced by involving both current owners and future owners.

Tell the people first how much is the UN paying your government per SANDF_ZA soldier deployed externally and how much that soldier gets in his/her bank account back home. tito_mboweni tell the nation how much are you taking from our fathers and mothers from being absent?

Research done by whom should be the question. Knowing the organisations he is affiliated with and represents, i am highly doubtful that those organisations have my best interest as a poc. No no thanks, keep your research!

There is high probability that the land struggle was secretly sold for BEE shares during the CODESA negotiations. Why are the Dinosaurs of that era defending the status quo?

Trevor Manuel is spewing garbage. It is now clear that they have vested financial interests for their individual families, which is enough fuel for EWC

Ofcourse we will meet the target because we not planning on changing anything. Who could miss such a target

The real defenders of the WMC interests. They benefitted a whole lot from the system and they are still benefiting. So, do not expect them to champion your so-called RET agenda.

Just check who conducted that study & you think we are going to believe such findings!!! You had your chance to lead; just sit down & enjoy the packs.
