Land Reform Green Paper Tabled

The draft green paper on land reform released by Rural Development and Land Reform Minister, Gugile Nkwinti, proposes a single reconfigured four-tier system of land reform.

The minister says that the green paper will ensure that all South Africans, particularly rural black people, have reasonable access to land with secure rights to fulfil their basic needs for housing and productive livelihoods.

He further states that it is aimed at creating a new trajectory for land reform which attempted to break from the past without significantly disrupting agricultural production and food security, and avoiding redistributions that did not generate livelihoods, employment, and incomes.
