Speaker, grondhervorming is 'n baie sensitiewe saak in Suid-Afrika. Inteendeel is dit 'n baie emosionele saak.
Almal is op rekord dat hulle ges het ons kan nie die pad van Zimbabwe volg as ons van grondhervorming praat nie. In verband met die uitgaande agb Minister, is die VF op rekord dat ons jammer is dat sy uitgaan. Ek moet s dat op die einde het sy 'n sekere boer se saak vinnig opgelos, so my dank aan haar omdat sy di probleem opgelos het.
Ons, sal agb Minister van Grondsake dophou, maar ek wil net vir haar van die begin af s dat ons moet ophou om die boere te blameer as daar probleme in grondhervorming ontstaan. Dit is administratiewe probleme. Die probleem waarna ek verwys het, het twee jaar gevat om opgelos te word, as gevolg van administrasie. As ons die administrasie probleme oplos, dan los ons die frustrasie op van grondhervorming, en dan kan ons vorentoe gaan. Dankie. (Translation of Afrikaans speech follows.)
[Mr P J GROENEWALD: Speaker, land reform is a very sensitive matter in South Africa. On the contrary, it is a very emotional matter. Everyone is on record as having said that we cannot follow in the footsteps of Zimbabwe when we talk about land reform. Regarding the hon Minister who is leaving, the FF is on record as having said that we are sorry that she is leaving. I must say that, in the end, she resolved the matter of a certain farmer quickly, so my party wants to thank her for solving this problem.
We will keep an eye on the new hon Minister of Land Affairs, but I just want to tell her from the start that we will have to stop blaming the farmers when problems occur in land reform. These are administrative problems. The problem to which I referred took two years to be solved, as a result of administration.
If we solve the administration problem, then we will solve the frustration in land reform, and then we can move on. Thank you.]
