House Chair, the ANC in its Ready to Govern: Policy guidelines states that I quote:
The state must help new farmers to farm their land provide them with training and extension work and further provide them with financial aid, subsidies to promote good farming practices.
This emphasis on adequate funding is to ensure the success of all programmes and entities in order to boost productivity and exports. Land hunger has reached a
crisis point and therefore our Land Reform programme is about redressing historical injustices and unlocking growth for socioeconomic transformation. The recommendation around policy gaps and inefficiencies in departmental performance and monitoring of its entities must be strengthen accordingly. All outstanding land, restitution claims must be settled within the legal provisions. We commend the successful work of the department and further call for the intensification and rollout to areas of most impoverished and land hunger and unemployment. The transformation of the rural landscape carries with it a renewed hope that we indeed can create and build a South Africa with a better quality for life for all by removing the vestiges of colonialism and apartheid.
House Chairperson on behalf of the ANC, I hereby support the BRRR of the Portfolio Committee of Vote 24 Agriculture and Vote 39 of Land Reform and Rural Development. I thank you.
