INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER [NO 16-2009]
DATE OF PUBLICATION: 11 SEPTEMBER 2009
1193. Mrs A Steyn (DA) to ask the Minister of Rural Development and Land
Reform:
Whether all the Eastern Cape titles have been transferred to the newly
expanded King Williams Town deeds office; if not, when will this transfer
be complete; if so, to what extent?
NW1530E
THE MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM
No.
The transfer is dependent on the back-scanning of the paper and microfilm
records currently held in the Cape Town Deeds Registry. The back-scanning
will commence once additional server storage capacity and hardware has been
procured, and the necessary software developed.
