The Commission acknowledged that the process of restitution was challenging and that there were delays with regard to settlement of land claims. The delays were attributed to the following factors: lack of supporting documents for land claims, community or family disputes with regard to who was entitled to restitution, unavailability of land for restoration, and challenges on validity of land claims by the land owners. In addition, the cost of land acquisition and the amount of funds made available for land acquisition also determined the pace at which land restitution could be implemented.
