South Africa: South Africa Land Reform Policy Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Following wide criticism of the land reform policy proposals in South Africa, there have been positive developments driven by the open engagement and invitations by the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform, and the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry to various industry organizations. Industry has welcomed such engagements by government and is of the position that the success of land reform will depend on government leveraging the successful work and land reform projects already being undertaken by the industry. Industry has also encouraged government to consider the alternative policy proposals that have been presented and to prudently manage the political interest or expectations during this process. Post will continue to monitor developments regarding land reform policy in South Africa.
