Whether the land redistribution target of 2010-11 has been met in each province; if not,  why not; if so, what are relevant details? NW558E

THE MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM:

No, not all provinces met their annual target even though the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform had an over-achievement of 328 040 hectares against its target of 283 592 hectares. The Mpumalanga and Northern Cape provinces exceeded their targets. The reasons for not meeting the targets by the remaining seven provinces range from non availability of suitable strategically located,and to high land prices which could not be accommodated within their budget allocations. ,,
