Committee's comments The Committee unanimously commended the department and SPLIT for the hard work, effort and commitment towards the development of the framework and for the communication strategies they were using. The department had picked up the ball and was carrying it. The Committee stated that if those strategies were put into perspective before the demolitions in Lenasia had begun, the demolitions could have been avoided. The example of Lenasia should be used as a test case by the province in trying to prevent land invasions.
