Public servants do not have the appropriate skills to adequately deal with land administration issues, which hampers government's land reform programme.

This is according to land reform minister Thoko Didiza, who told parliament on Tuesday that some of the challenges facing her department were land administration and land governance systems, issues of accountability, slow disciplinary processes and consequence management. “This is reflected on the Zigana, Cloete, Rakgase and other matters that affect farmers, particularly in areas of Mpumalanga [and] North West — and most of which have been brought to our attention by members of this committee,” she said.

In some instances, she said, farmers are given caretakership agreements, after which they are not confirmed for the land without clear reasons as to why. She said that one of the questions was how an individual was entrusted with a state asset for a year or two and, thereafter, that person was said not to be qualified.

What skills are required to deal with land administration Bullshit, land reform in South Africa is hampered by pussy footing politics...

No sit. We could have told you that in 1994...

Absolute rubbish by the ANC's Toko Didiza. The whole issue is about corruption. It's a question of who can can pay the most for the land that does not belong to them. The true recipients will not get the land as they do not funds to fork a bribe.

Suitably qualified people are sitting at home unemployed, because they don’t have connections to get those jobs in government
