The Presidency convenes Colloquium on Land Reform

The Advisory Panel on Land Reform, chaired by Dr Vuyo Mahlati, will engage participants with the objective of framing discussion papers towards formulating specific policy proposals on land reform. A final submission by this panel is expected to be compiled and presented to The Presidency by 15 March 2019.

The Advisory Panel on Land Reform was appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa to provide independent advice to the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) comprised of 11 Cabinet Ministers and chaired by Deputy President David Mabuza.

The Panel’s mandate is to provide a unified policy perspective on land reform in respect of restitution, redistribution and tenure reform. The work of the panel is partly informed by a resolution of Parliament to consider expropriation of land without compensation.

Members of the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on Land Reform are also expected to attend.
