In his State of the Nation Address in June this year, President Cyril Matalnela Ramaphosa opened with a quote of Sol Plaatjie just after the promulgation of the 1913 Native Land Act once again reminding us of the legacy of our past that continues to haunt us to this day. President Ramaphosa went further to once again affirm the need for us as a country to deal with this past in order to heal our wounds as a society. As a commitment on behalf of government he indicated that government will rapidly release the land that is in its hands for human settlement and agricultural development.
