The entity highlighted the following key challenges: . The uncertainty regarding the future of the entity makes it difficult to invest in new strategies in order to ensure the profitability of the entity. The Cabinet memo on privatisation has still not been revoked and the future of Safcol depended on a cabinet decision. . The slow pace of the resolution on the land claims has caused tension between the community and Safcol. . The lack of support from the provincial and local leadership in resolving conflict between the entity and the community. . 61% of the land is under claims, which brings the sustainability of the entity into question. . 10 - 13% of plantation has been damaged by baboons, resulting in financial losses. . The community demands a share of the profits, but the problem is that they have not been issued with the title deeds by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform.
