Hon Deputy President, the ACDP notes that land reform and distribution which includes state-owned land is a social challenge that requires the commitment of government and every South African to ensure the sustainability and the prosperity of an inclusive South African economy.
The ACDP through our Member of the Mayoral Committee, MMC, on Human Settlements in the City of Johannesburg has been at the forefront of taking state-owned land, developing housing units and giving out title deeds to first time proud land and homeowners.
In the light of this hon Deputy President, do you agree with the former President Kgalema Motlanthe when he said a failure to protect property rights and issue title deeds to property owners destroys the value of such property and if property is not protected by law, society as we understand it today, will disappear because of the kind of anarchy and chaos that will ensue is difficult to imagine.
In line with this statement will the government unlock and release state- owned land, giving title deeds to its new owners in order to unlock the economic potential of such land? Thank you. [Applause.]
