Follow-up meeting regarding Jonkershoek land issue

By Busisiwe Mtabane

The Western Cape MEC of Agriculture will today attend a first follow-up meeting with regard to evictions and land matters in Jonkershoek. Minister, Cobus Dowry says in view of the problems affecting the farming community, it was decided to have a meeting to resolve the matter in an amicable way and to investigate ways and means for a possible longer term solution. The meeting will take place at the Council Chambers in Stellenbosch. Dowry says this process of dialogue and constructive engagement in agricultural communities may very well be the first of its kind and may serve as a blueprint for other similar areas in the Province and South Africa.
