Hon Chair, Minister, I just want to check with you: Are there any future plans on alignment and integration of land use
management between the spheres of government? If yes, where are they; and if no, what are the relevant details of that? Thank you.
The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, LAND REFORM AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT:
Thank you very much, hon Modise, although this is actually a new question, I would assist in answering it. We do have the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, as you know it. We have also as Cabinet approved the spatial development framework, SDF, which actually gives indication to all spheres of government on how our spatial development should be undertaken in the country.
In terms of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, that development framework must actually be released for comments within 60 days. That is what we had already done. So, we are waiting for comments from citizens in terms of spatial development framework, after which we will then bring it to Cabinet for finalisation. Thank you very much.
