I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes the research report that over 55 million hectares of land in Africa have been grabbed since 2000;
2) further notes that "land grabs" are defined in the report as large- scale land acquisitions which displaced vulnerable communities and farmers with disregard for the rights of these people and the social and environmental impact;
3) further notes the research report found that large multinational companies, with the consent of the state itself, were implicated in the land grabs;
4) further acknowledges that South Africa is also implicated in the report; and
5) encourages the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform to ensure that our land is audited and sovereignty is maintained.
Are there any objections? Yes, the hon Deputy Chief Whip noted an objection and the motion therefore cannot be adopted, and becomes notice of a motion.
