Govt Not Nationalising Land – Nkwinti
Rural Development and Land Reform Minister, Gugile Nkwinti, has dismissed suggestions government intends to nationalise land in its reform programme.
Speaking in the National Assembly during debate on his budget vote, Nkwinti said the green paper on agrarian transformation, rural development, and land reform proposed the current land tenure system be overhauled.
Nkwinti acknowledged that the land reform programmes implemented to date had not been sustainable and had not provided the anticipated benefits to the recipients of the programme.
