3.1 Currently 23 000 hectares are to be replanted. Of that 10 000 hectares have been clear felled but have not been replanted waiting for a government decision. In 2007 MTO purchased the Borskor sawmill in Tsitsikama. AC Whitcher opposed the purchase and took the matter to court. The court referred the matter back to the Competition Commission for decision. To date the Competition Commission has not finalized the matter which is one of the reasons for conflict and infighting in the industry.
