According to Safcol's records 61% of the forests under KLF's management are subject to land claims. Various communities, families and individuals have lodged claims against the state in terms of the provision of the Restitution of Land Rights Act, 1994, as amended, with respect to forestry land upon which the Safcol Group conducts its business. The magnitude of these claims is in different stages of the restitution process. All these impacted on the future of Safcol.
