Deputy
Chairperson, we must also first understand that state land must be distributed by all spheres of government, and the answer that I'm going to give is that state-owned land it's been transferred by the Department of Public Works to support the land reform programme because we are holding the land just in custodianship on behalf of the public. So, since 1999 up till now, we've released 181 properties for land restitution purposes that amount to just over 11 696 hectors of land.
We've also avail 22 properties for human settlement purposes amounting to over 2 770 hectors of land and that we have avail to the Department of Human Settlements. We have also released 60 properties with an extent of about 21 739 hectors to Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development from 2000 to date for land redistribution purposes. So, this is the record I could find from 1999 up till now. Thank you, Deputy Chairperson.
