It chartered Tthe road to be taken to arrive at the objective of transferring 30% of white-owned agricultural land by 2014. So far, the Department of Land Affairs has distributed only 4.3% of the target. In order to meet the 30% redistribution target of agricultural land and to achieve real developmental outcomes a new approach to land reform is being developed. The achievement of land reform goals requires inclusive partnerships and collaboration across government departments and civil society. Greater coordination within the structures of government in land reform and administration is needed to realise the goals we have set for ourselves.
