While we commend the progress, we believe there is much more that still needs to be done and faster. Access to land and the slow rate of the resolution of land claims have continuously been a problem. This has a negative effect on the pace of both social and economic transformation. Even when development has taken place, the looming land claims hinder further development and progress. This is an area on which the Department of Agriculture and Land Affairs is focusing in order to address these problems. In the area of skills shortages, hon members are aware of the initiative, Siyenza Manje, which has facilitated the deployment of experts into different municipalities that have a significant skills shortage. Many of those would be rural municipalities. This initiative has also had a positive impact.
