The Committee has noted the additional funding to address the 7000 outstanding land claims. It also noted the new model which is going to be piloted aimed at supporting emerging farmers in partnership with the Land Bank. The Committee supports the proposed additional funding for provinces to improve the quality of extension services which is offered to newly settled farmers. While the Committee supports all these interventions, it is its view that a lot still need to be done to drive a more comprehensive rural development programme. While the 2010/11 MTBPS has made a number of interventions, it seemed not to be suggesting an intervention relating to challenges identified during the implementation of Land Assistance Act in the land reform programme.
