Water Allocation Reform programme to only take excess water
The Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry Buyelwa Sonjica assured members of Parliament today that the water they intend to take from rich farmers to give to emerging farmers would only be their excess water.Political correspondent reports that Sonjica admitted that there have already been outcries from agriculturalists, and that the Water Allocation Reform Programme has been delayed. Sonjica added that the Allocation Reform Programme was supposed to go hand in hand with the Land Reform Programme, so that emerging farmers were not simply given land to lie fallow.
