House Chair, hon member will recall the responses we gave the hon member in the previous question and reply session. On 12 March 2019, on the same matter, same question was asked and we gave a response. We are going to restate what we said on that day. As government we are indeed committed in addressing security of tenure in communal areas. As for this government we will continue to ensure that all our people in communal areas do have security of tenure. This is a constitutional mandate as stipulated in section 25(6) which talks to the need for the security of tenure to those whose tenure is insecure. To give effect to this provision of the Constitution, government is in the process of considering the most appropriate tenure security systems that will be applicable to communal land. This process will be undertaken in a consultation
with all people that are affected including our traditional leaders and communities under them.
At this stage we would not want to pre-empt the provisions of the communal land tenure Bill that is being discussed and processed at the moment. We will wait the finalisation of this piece of legislation that will guide our tenure system in the country. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
