Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development fails to participate in today’s Webinar

 Chairperson of the Western Cape Standing Committee on Human Settlements, Matlhodi Maseko, says it is unfortunate that the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development did not participate in a webinar today to update them on matters pertaining to the District Six Restitution Projects.

On Thursday, Minister Thoko Didiza announced that they will today (Friday) begin the administrative process of allocating 108 claimants their housing units.

She said the process of the claimants returning to the area will take place between 24 June and 16 July.

Maseko said that the problem is that illegal occupiers have moved onto land in the area.

And that there is a land invasion that is happening in the land parcel of the District Six land restitution site. And the responsibility now is with the city, the cost is with the city. And they have to see how they are going to move forward in this issue.
