PALS FRAMEWORK A radical departure from past land reform in South Africa: 1.Participant commercial farmers donate 30% of the shares in the project to the beneficiary farmer(s) to ensure that the latter have a veto over all major decisions. 2.The relationship between the beneficiary and the partner farmer gives the former better access to finance, and guarantees access to markets. 3.The beneficiaries have an option to purchase all the shares. 8

PALS FRAMEWORK (continue) 4.The Workers Trust receives at least 5% of profits for community projects of their choice. 5.The beneficiary farmer is indemnified from debts of the new venture while a minority shareholder. 6.The “one stop shop” provides a physical location where the coordination, facilitation and mentoring functions can be implemented. 9

SUCCESS STARTS WITH OUR WAY OF THINKING As Nelson Mandela said in his inaugural speech in 1994: “Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” Witzenberg PALS has only one agenda and that is to inspire the community of Witzenberg to work together and give hope to our country. Inspire our country. Thank you Izak Strauss Witzenberg PALS 18
