Access to Land If You Do Not Have Land

The purpose of the land redistribution programme is to provide people with land for housing in urban and rural areas as well as land for farming purposes. The government realises that poor people cannot buy land at normal prices. The government will assist them to buy land using the land grants – and in that way speed up land reform. The government will make state land available and buy land from willing sellers on behalf of applicants. Expropriation, where the state forces the owner to sell, will only be a last resort.
