The Portfolio Committee on Rural Development and Land Reform embarks on an oversight visit to land claims lodgement centres to assess the progress made since the official re-opening of the second phase of land claims lodgement process.
The first stop of the oversight is Mowbray Land Claims Lodgement site, outside Cape Town in the Western Cape on Wednesday, 30 July 2014. The visit will afford members of the Committee an opportunity to assess the government’s implementation plans, capacity and turnaround time to administer the claims.
The Restitution of Land Rights Amendment Act provides for the re-opening of the lodgement of land claims by those who missed the 31 December 1998 deadline to lodge land claims over a period of five years, from 30 June 2014 to 30 June 2019.
