Committee must implement land conference resolutions

The Land Advisory Commission (LRAC) is tasked to implement the relevant resolutions of the second land conference without fail.This is according to agriculture minister, Calle Schlettwein, who was speaking at an induction training workshop for newly appointed LRAC members. The event also provided an opportunity to bid farewell to outgoing members of the commission.Schlettwein said the commission has acted as an essential link between the minister’s office and society in general."The commission has kept the minister informed on the expectations and aspirations of the people in as far as land reform in our country is concerned."He said that the issue of redressing past imbalances in land ownership can only be realised through hard work, a shared vision, and dedication by people who recognise that the land reform process is a necessary step in responding to the socio-economic and political injustices that were inherent within the country’s past colonial society.FailedSchlettwein said the second land conference in 2018 concluded that efforts on land reform and resettlement have not had the desired impact to meet the set targets."Aspects such as accountability and transparency, meeting the targets to address landlessness, and correcting the impact of colonial injustices and land dispossession."He said that the commission is fundamentally responsible for advising on all matters relating to land reform and resettlement."We must deliver land reform in a transparent and accountable manner."
