PRESENTATION TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON LAND AND MINERAL RESOURCES STRATEGIC PLAN OF THE COMMISSION ON RESTITUTION OF LAND RIGHTS, 2014-2019 PRESENTATION TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON LAND AND MINERAL RESOURCES 11 JULY 2014

MANDATE FOR RESTITUTION OF LAND RIGHTS The mandate for restitution emanates from section 25 (7) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No108 of 1996). Restitution (of land rights) is one of the four pillars of Government’s Land Reform Programme, the others being redistribution; tenure reform; and development. Restitution of land rights is implemented under the Restitution of Land Rights Act, 1994 (Act 22 of 1994). This Act establishes the Commission on Restitution of Land Rights (CRLR) and the Land Claims Court (LCC). The functions of the CRLR are to solicit and investigate claims for land restitution and to prepare them for settlement. The LCC adjudicates disputes emanating from the restitution process.

VISION & MISSION OF THE CRLR Vision A Commission of excellence that ensures effective, efficient and speedily redress is provided to all those that were dispossessed through racially based land dispossession. Mission We exist to provide equitable redress to victims of racially motivated land dispossession, in line with the provisions of the Restitution of Land Rights Act, 1994 (Act No. 22 of 1994)

PLANNING CONTEXT The context for the strategic plan for 2014-19 is the National Development Plan, the Medium Term Strategic Framework 2014-19 and revised land reform policy, legislative and implementation framework (Green paper and subsequent policies). Rural Development and Land Reform is implemented as part of reversing the legacy of the 1913 Natives Land Act. Restitution planning is therefore aligned to the following: The National Development Plan and The National Growth Path Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (and outcome 7) 3 principles of land reform, single land tenure system and support institutions The reopening of lodgement of claims for 5 years, and other priorities of Government set out in the State of the Nation Address

ALIGNMENT TO THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN To address rural poverty; the NDP states that “rural communities require greater social economic and political opportunities”, and Land Reform is one of the initiatives identified to create opportunities for economic transformation. The Restitution Programme will contribute directly to the NDP goals of building a united country and resolving historical injustices by restoring land rights or providing alternative redress to persons and communities dispossessed of rights in land as a result of past racially discriminatory laws or practices. The redress to be provided to restitution beneficiaries will be a catalyst for development and social cohesion.

ALIGNMENT WITH MTSF & DRDLR STRATEGIC PLAN The strategic plan of the CRLR is aligned with the strategic objectives and goals of the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) The Programme shall contribute to the priority of sustainable land reform, through restoration of land rights or other forms of redress that will serve as catalyst for development. 1457 new claims will be settled and 983 claims will be finalised in the MTEF period The Programme shall contribute to policy and legislation development: the reopening and exceptions to the 1913 Natives Land Act cut off date policies and legislation. The Programme shall prioritise the settlement of claims in the 27 priority districts and other areas targeted for infrastructure development.

THE APPROACH To realise the vision and mission, the strategy has three key components: Land rights restored in order to support land reform and agrarian transformation by 2019 Lodgement of restitution land claims reopened for people who did not meet the 1998 deadline Organisational change management The approach and identification of these components emerge from the mandate of the Commission, emerging policy and legislation as well as key findings from a process evaluation done via the Department of Monitoring and Evaluation in the Presidency.
