Hon House Chairperson, Deputy President you are telling a good story but the reality is something very different. One of the major failures of land reform is that even the little land that gets distributed to blacks end up into the hands of the MK veterans or others aligned to the ANC. You know that the MK veterans, very few of them even know a pitchfork from the AK47. These are the gate keeping and patronage networks that play inimically to any prospects of a successful land reform programme.
Can you commit today that you will use your authority to make public a complete database of all the beneficiaries of proactive land acquisition strategy indicating which beneficiaries are using land in a productive manner, what support they have received from government and how many of them are servicing their lease agreements? Thank you very much.
