Land Redistribution Needs Back-Up - PLAAS

The Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) says President Jacob Zuma’s latest plan to address stagnating land reform is a positive move, but clarification of the details, the input of all stakeholders and government support for black farmers is crucial to its success.

PLAAS senior researcher, Ruth Hall, says that while Zuma is conveying the right message, ‘a severe and detailed debate’ is necessary to flesh out the finer details.

Hall is of the view that relevant sectors of society need to be involved in developing a workable plan, including the agricultural sector, civil society and NGOs.
