51. Challenges facing the Department

52. CHALLENGES FOR RESTITUTION
High staff turnover
Development taking longer than the settlement process
High land cost based on market values in terms of the constitution
Un-surveyed and unregistered land rights (no title on land), this
requires detailed mapping and walking on the land with communities
Protracted negotiations with landowners and claimants
(Expropriation period of six months before finalization)
Community disputes, Traditional authorities’ jurisdictional issues as
well as disagreements with landowners (landowners disputing
validity of claims)
Incoherent land use practices and need for alignment of priorities –
i.e. communal and commercial land use practices

53. CHALLENGES FOR LAND REFORM
Escalating land prices on average between 14% and 19% in the past 10 years will have a big impact on the budget
Lack of specialized skills required in the sector to drive
massification programme
Poor level of alignment in the agrarian reform sector (public and private)
Willing buyer-willing seller – the state becomes the only buyer in the market and that affects its bargaining power.

54. Interventions

55. INTERVENTIONS Pro-active land acquisition strategy
ASGI-SA: Bio-fuels strategy
The approach of Area-based planning will contribute to the massification programme
New land delivery models currently being developed e.g. special purpose vehicle, agency agreements and developer models
Decentralization framework for fast tracking state land management and administration
Completed Business re-engineering processes to re-position the department to fast track delivery
