The Committee welcomed a more focussed approach for the current financial year where 133 claims on state land would be settled and a total number of 380 land claims to be finalized. The Committee remained concerned that the Commission was still not able to report on how many claims were exactly outstanding. The Committee was of the view that this information is vitally important for the purposes of planning for a successful restitution programme. However, cautiously welcomed the strategic objective to ensure restitution of land rights or awards of alternative forms of equitable redress to claimants was finalized within the MTEF baseline allocation. It cautiously welcomes this objective due to lack of information on what amount of work is outstanding and how much financial resources would be required to complete the work of restitution during the MTEF period.
