The CRLR set 2005 as a deadline to complete all land restitution claims lodged by the 31st December 1998. Subsequently, the end of 2008/09 was also set as a deadline after a realization that it was impossible meet the deadline for restitution. During the reporting year, the CRLR further readjusted targets to completing the restitution process by the end of the year 2013/2014 subject to availability of sufficient budget allocation. The extension was motivated for on the basis that the majority of outstanding claims are rural and complex in nature. The completion of such claims would require sufficient resources for land acquisition and provision of development support to beneficiaries.
