For the past 11 years LandCare has taken the lead in promoting sustainable land management practices, reversing land degradation in rural areas and contributing towards job creation and poverty eradication. In this current financial year, the programme will implement 1 516 junior care management projects, construct 2 405 gabions and 300 conservation structures, erect 1 424 km of fence, create 14 257 jobs on LandCare projects and eradicate 8725 ha of alien invasive plants. The removal of alien invasive plants actually creates quite a substantial number of jobs. We are doing it more intensively. We will improve 3 340 ha of grazing and manage 400 ha of veld grazing. This will be supported by a budget of R54,5 million.
