The Minister of Land Reform and Rural Development, Mr Mzwanele Nyhontso, will visit Siyazama Klipland Farm in De Doorns on Friday, 7 February 2025 as part of a post-SONA oversight visit. Siyazama Klipland Farm is a land reform farm that produces table grapes for the export market. The farm was acquired through the department's Proactive Land Acquisition Strategy (PLAS) and is being leased to previously disadvantaged farmers in De Doorns.

During this visit, Minister Nyhontso will engage the lessees of the farm and farm workers to determine the level of success of the land reform project, its impact on beneficiaries and economic development, and the challenges they face.
