NAU prepares for land conference
'The Namibia Agricultural Union (NAU) has formulated an extensive document which also includes its position on land ownership in Namibia in preparation for the second national land conference which will be held this year.
According to the union, it has since independence and especially after the 1991 conference, committed itself to a successful and sustainable land reform process in Namibia.
The NAU said in its latest newsletter that throughout the years the union has drafted various reports and documents in order to give its viewpoint with regard to this important process in Namibia.
“The point of departure of the NAU was always been to support land reform in the national context,” the union said.
According to the union, besides specific viewpoints based on the 1991 land conference's decisions, the NAU also formulated viewpoints with regard to the willing-seller, willing-buyer principle, land tax, communal as well as rural land, farm sizes, land prices and ancestral rights.
“This document will be the core of the NAU's viewpoints at the second national land conference and will also be provided to the Ministry of Land Reform in an attempt to contribute towards a future successful land reform policy and strategy in Namibia,” the union said.
