Hon Chair, Cabinet took a decision in 2008 that the land in the Kruger National Park will not be restored to the communities who launched land claims on it, and that alternative redress would be sought in the form of financial compensation. It has come to light that the communities do not agree to financial compensation and have called for the restoration of the land. The Ministry will submit this matter to Cabinet for a discussion and a way forward. It is clear that we do not have sufficient resources to meet our targets - that is in terms of the second question. This is further compounded by the current economic crisis.
However, hon Chair, further interactions with National Treasury over the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework, MTEF, period, regarding additional funding for land reform will continue. The commission remains committed to its mandate of ensuring redress for those who lost their land through past racial practices and legislation, and will further ensure regular communication with claimants as to the status of their claims. Thank you.
