[Ms P P XABA: Chairperson, hon Minister, if I may ask: What happened to the money that was used for land restitutions? How much was spent on purchasing land? How much was spent to compensate the community who did not get land, as well as that which was paid out as a subsidy in order to help those who want to farm?
Nevertheless, we know that the land is expensive but they took it free of charge. We thank the ANC-led government, the congress, for assisting our people to get back their land which was taken by the apartheid government. We have seen in Babanango, in KwaZulu-Natal, that the land has been returned to our people. Hon Minister, will you please explain to us how big the land in KZN is that has not been returned to its rightful owners? [Applause.]]
