Constantia land restitution claim settled by Department of Transport and Public Works: Statement by Robin Carlisle, Western Cape Minister of Transport and Public Works
12 Feb 2014
On 4 February 2014, the State Attorney registered the transfer of land from the Western Cape Government to the national Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, as part of an approximately 2.0779 land restitution claim, for the effective transfer back to the claimants and rightful owners, the Kherekar family.
We are very proud to see this process come even closer to conclusion and to have played a part in having the dignity of the Kherekar family restored. The Western Cape Government remains committed to affecting the transfer of provincially owned property to those that were so wrongly dispossessed during apartheid, under the Group Areas Act of 1957 where Constantia then fell under the ‘White Group Area'.
This claim comprises of:
1. Unregistered Erf 5786, Constantia, comprising of Erf 5797, Constantia, measuring 6098 m/sq situated at Conmead Road, Meadowridge.
