I am delighted to present to you the Annual Performance Plan 2018/2019 in this important year when we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of our first democratic President, Isithwalandwe Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. The plan for 2018/2019 outlines the strategic vision and goals that the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform has identified to fulfil the needs of rural communities and the broader society and to set our rural areas on a path of growth, employment and transformation.

The 54th National Conference of the African National Congress, the ruling party, has provided additional guidance to my department through its resolutions on land reform in the country. It is glaringly evident that the pace of land reform must gain momentum in order to address the triple challenge of poverty, inequality and unemployment. My Department and I are at all times cognisant of the historic injustice of land dispossession and remain committed to working toward the complete reversal of the inequality and poverty visited upon the black majority as a result of land dispossession and exclusion in the economy of the country.

The Conference resolved that expropriation of land without compensation should be one of the mechanisms to give effect to the mandate of this department. As a policy direction, the

7


FOREWORD BY THE MINISTERdepartment will explore the options at our disposal to give effect to this resolution and is prepared to work with various stakeholders to realise this objective. We are also cognisant of the need to ensure that the implementation of this policy directive does not undermine the economy, agricultural production and food security and ensure that it is implemented in a way that increases agricultural production, improves food security and ensure that the land is returned to those from whom it was taken under colonialism and apartheid. In order to execute our mandate, we will focus on key legislation with a full programme of new bills and policies that will deliver on the promises we have made to our people. These will be developed and presented to Parliament. Further to this, the attainment and maintenance of sustainable rural development and land reform interventions, programmes and projects will enhance service delivery to the most vulnerable in our society. Under-utilized state agricultural land will be brought into full production through Departmental programs, including the One Household One Hectare program and various permutations thereof.

In addition to this the Department aims to continue with the implementation of the agrarian transformation strategy which is premised on three phases namely; - meeting the basic human needs such as food security, accommodation, health and education; the second phase would see the mushrooming of small-scale rural enterprises which emanate from the available infrastructure and third phase includes the establishment of rural industries such as agro-processing plants and the provision of rural enterprise capital.

The three phases feed into each other with the ultimate aim of transforming previously underdeveloped rural enclaves into sustainable, economically viable human habitats that will discourage rural villagers from flocking into the cities in search of a better life.

The goal of the agrarian transformation strategy is to build social cohesion while giving effect to the objectives of rural development.

In this regard, my department is successfully implementing the Rural Economic Transformation model with the development of Agri-Parks at its centre. These Agri-Parks will ensure social cohesion and the inclusive development of rural economies, in which rural-urban linkages

are crucial in generating such inclusivity. The department is supporting, organizing and mobilizing rural citizens and communities as agents of change, to transform land, livestock and cropping activities into successful agro-businesses in support of the agricultural sector and broader rural economy.

In order to implement the key strategies and plans we aim to create an enabling environment to successfully partner with our stakeholders and beneficiaries and to ensure resources are appropriately allocated.

Furthermore, the department will continue to engage the traditional leadership and other stakeholders on matters concerning asset ownership, including the provision of title deeds which are vital for socio-economic activities to our people in urban and rural communities.

I am certain that, with the continued collaboration of our stakeholders, government, partners and staff, the vision and goals we have set out in the Annual Performance Plan for 2018/2019 will be accomplished for the benefit and prosperity of our country.

In the words of President Ramaphosa during his State of the Nation address:

Now is the time to lend a hand.Now is the time for each of us to say ‘send me’.Now is the time for all of us to work together, in honour of Nelson Mandela, to build a new, better South Africa for all

I thank you

We are presenting this Annual Performance Plan at the time when the land question is uppermost in the minds of all South Africans. Land ownership is one of the catalysts for economic freedom, spatial transformation and equality; it touches the hearts and lives of all South Africans.

It is clear that we must implement measures to fast track the implementation of Restitution, Redistribution and Tenure Reform in our country not only to redress a grave historical injustice, but also to bring more producers into the agricultural sector and to make more land available for production.

The plans we have put in place for this financial year seek to better integrate rural areas into the economy through strengthening of our Land Reform Programmes, infrastructure development, enterprise development; job creation and skills development.

To contribute to integrated and co-ordinated service delivery both within the department, with sector departments, provincial departments and the municipalities the department has enhanced tools to enable spatial targeting and budgeting. This will enable us to optimise our resources and mobilise additional resources including the private sector.Ms L. Archary

The recent private land audit reflects the glaring inequality of individual land ownership in South Africa with only 4% of individual black land owners. In this year, we will urgently commence with the Phase Three of the land audit, looking into land ownership patterns of trusts, companies and other communal entities. In this year, we will continue to implement various initiatives to transform the land administration system of our country, including the proposed legislative amendments in the Deeds environment. To fast track the Land Restitution Programme, the department will continue to increase the capacity of the Commission. In this financial year, we have targeted to settle 1 151 land claims. Given the challenges raised in terms of sustainability, the Commission will investigate and strengthen partnership models with commodity sectors and other private sector partners in various industries including forestry, sugar cane, tourism, wildlife and conversation.

Through the Land Reform Programme we intend to acquire 90 000 hectares of strategically located land for allocation mostly to benefit smallholder farmers. Our focus this year is to ensure that our acquired farms are productive and contribute to the agricultural economy. To this end, we will finalise the assessment of all our PLAS farms to enable decision making in-terms of support required, leasing and disposal. We will also begin the assessment of all our properties acquired since 1995 through various Land Reform Programmes. To revive the rural economy, we will prioritise the fast tracking of the Agri-parks programme across the country focusing on the Farmer Production Support Units and Agri-hubs. Food security and productive utilisation of land remains a priority in the rural space and the department will aggressively pursue the implementation of the One Household, One Hectare and One Household, Two Dairy Cows Programmes to improve household incomes and well-being. Our focus will also be to ensure enterprise development and job creation in the rural space with our NARYSEC Programme being the major contributor in skills development in the rural space.

In implementing all our programmes, we will prioritise poverty eradication, job creation and promotion of equality by focusing on women, youth, people with disabilities, other previously disadvantaged groups, small medium and micro enterprises and co-operative development. Transformation in our country needs all our hands working as one and as a department we remain committed to changing the lives of our rural people.

PART ASTRATEGIC OVERVIEW

12


The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) is embarking on the second phase of the national democratic revolution that is characterised by radical socio-economic transformation, which is defined as a fundamental change in the structure, systems, institutions and patterns of ownership, management and control of the economy.

The department has conducted two planning sessions in September and October 2017 in an attempt to strengthen interventions to address the triple challenge of poverty, unemployment and equality particularly as it affects rural areas. The unemployment rate rose to 27.7% in the 1st quarter of the 2017/18 financial year as reported by Statistics South Africa, the highest since 2003. The agricultural sector was recognised as the sector which registered growth and created more job opportunities; DRDLR through its various programmes has contributed to this achievement.

A workshop on the Government Mandate Paper was held by the department to strengthen alignment of budgets to planning processes by setting up government priorities in line with available budgets. This Mandate Paper aims to enhance the precision and targeting of budget allocation to National Development Plan (NDP) objectives through the identification of a set of priorities, reflective of objective assessment and conditions at the time. It further allows the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) Budget to be much more agile and respond to instruments of resource allocation to deal with both parameters of the expenditure and revenue generation. The priorities highlighted in the Mandate Paper related to the department are as follows:

Job creation and small business development Implementation of 30% set-aside especially targeting local enterprises, including village and township enterprises, which will further enhance integrated community development. The department aims to create 5 116 jobs through rural development initiatives in the 2018/19 financial year.

Youth development Business opportunities for youth which include: internet; capacity building on youth enterprises, tourism and hospitality; upscale of labour intensive programmes, internships, learnerships and artisanships. Through the National Rural Youth Services Corps (NARYSEC) programme, the department is targeting over 2 000 youth to be taken through the skills development programme.

Infrastructure spendingMaintain real infrastructure spending; revitalise townships, industrial parks and technology. In the 2018/19 financial year the department will facilitate 53 Agri-parks infrastructure projects and contribute to revitalisation of 10 rural towns.

Land reform and agricultural development Fast-track the processing of restitution land claims and land redistribution; as we fast-track the land restitution programme, the department will also ensure that farmers are supported. Through the restitution programme the department is aiming to settle 1 151 land claims and finalise 991 land claims. More than 90 000 hectares of land will be acquired and 45 000 (50%) of those hectares will be allocated to small holder farmers.

Operation Phakisa and stakeholder collaboration The department is strengthening its collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to implement the Operation Phakisa initiative which aims to enhance and transform the agricultural sector as well as speed up land reform to ensure an inclusive rural economy.

About 27 initiatives have been finalised across seven work streams. These initiatives include land reform, rural development, labour, grains, livestock, horticulture and producer support. These work streams aim to assist in enhancing the management of natural resources, developing skills and capacity in the agricultural sector, stimulate

funding and finance, value chain development and market access, coordination and knowledge management as well as reconfiguring space and promoting functional rural settlement.

1.1 Performance delivery environmentThe Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP) remains a foundation through which transformation of rural economies can be achieved. The socio-economic conditions are increasingly putting pressure on the country’s economy and there is growing impatience with the slow pace of land reform.

It is for this reason that the department has decided on integrated socio-economic development and rural economy transformation planning at local level. This can be achieved through the championship by the district and local municipalities, with the support of the national and provincial departments by coordinating at a district level, working with civil society and business structures. The District Land Reform Committees (DLRCs) are important structures to further implement land reform programmes at a district level.

Farmers face increasing pressure to grow and maintain efficiency as climate change elevates the frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as drought, heat waves and floods. These events have impacted negatively on crop and livestock production. Therefore, the role of district Agri-parks forms part of the investment in smallholder farmers to address amongst others, climate change related challenges so that these farmers progress from the informal sector to the commercial Agri-Economy.

In addition to this, skills and environmental systems remain crucial aspects for the future. These can be met through the NARYSEC Programme which aims to enhance skills development by providing unemployed rural youth with opportunities to work in their communities and to be trained to provide the necessary services for local socio-economic development.

District Agri-parks are led by the district municipalities as political champions. The Members of the Executive Council (MECs) responsible for agriculture and rural development in each province will be responsible for co-ordinating and overseeing various initiatives like the Agri-parks, One household, One hectare and One rural ward, One Integrated Community Development Centre.

The Minister announced the establishment of Mzansi Co-operative Financial Institution which serves as a banking platform for rural women in arts, craft and design. The aim of the initiative is to bring about economic transformation of rural women’s cooperatives.

The One Household, One Hectare Programme targets state owned farms, PLAS farms and communal land with the purpose of creating rural smallholder producers at household level to ensure food security, reduce poverty, create sustainable employment, broaden the skills base and support the Agri-parks Programme.

1.2 Organisational environmentThe department had also projected the land claims process to be researched in the first quarter of 2017 financial year. However, this was not achieved due to fiscal constraints, complexities associated with verification and validation of claims, court challenges and internal capacity constraints were not taken into consideration.

The department has embarked on an organisational re-engineering process with a view to improve organisational efficiency and effectiveness.

There are an estimated 1513 Communal Property Associations (CPA) that have been registered countrywide. The CPA Act is currently being amended with a view to strengthening control mechanisms and establishing a Registrar of CPAs.

The department will also be initiating and implementing e-lodgement as the first phase of the Electronic Deeds. There will be consultations with stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of this project. The Office of the Valuer-General (OVG) has been established as an entity of the department to conduct independent valuations. Continuous efforts are undertaken to capacitate the OVG.

Labour Tenants and Farm-dweller Forums have been established at national, provincial and district level as a prelude to the proposed Land Rights Management Committees envisaged in the Extension of Security of Tenure Amendment Bill (ESTA) which is still being processed.

These structures will help with both the monitoring of evictions and the facilitation of interventions by various stakeholders that comprise the Land Rights/Eviction Stakeholders Forum.

Performance and Expenditure TrendsThe Department of Rural Development and Land Reform’s ongoing commitment to building sustainable rural livelihoods aligns the department’s work with chapter 6 of the National Development Plan (an inclusive rural economy), and Outcome 7 of government’s 2014-2019 Medium Term Strategic Framework (comprehensive rural development and land reform).

The department is allocated a budget of R10.4 billion for the 2018/19 financial year and R33.2 billion over the MTEF period to fund activities related to facilitation of infrastructure development, to support rural economic transformation through Agri-parks, accelerating land reform by promoting equitable land redistribution and agricultural development, transforming land tenure, increase job opportunities through skills development programme and settling of Restitution land claims.

22


The biggest share of the budget to the amount of R3.4 billion is allocated to the Restitution programme to speed up the restitution of land rights in the 2018/19 financial year. Land redistribution and tenure reform have been allocated the second biggest budget under Programme 5 to the value of R2.7 billion to fast-track the acquiring of strategically located land for equitable redistribution and agricultural development, in line with national economic job drivers through the purchase of land and provide comprehensive farm development support to smallholder farmers and land reform beneficiaries.

Over the medium term, the department will focus on: fast tracking land reform; implementing the Agri-parks programme in 44 districts; the One Household, One Hectare programme; revitalisation of rural towns and villages; fast-tracking the lodged claims; facilitating youth development and entrepreneurship through the National Rural Youth Corps; implementing programmes to strengthen security of tenure for farm dwellers including implementation of the Strengthening of Relative Rights Programme (50:50); securing tenure of labour tenants and improving efficiencies in land administration including the Deeds and Cadastral Survey Management environment aligned to the mandate paper priorities.

Cabinet kept the ceiling for compensation of employees on R7.5 billion over the MTEF period of which R2.3 billion is allocated for 2018/19, R2.5 billion for 2019/20 and R2.7 billion for 2020/21 financial years respectively. Personnel numbers are expected to decrease gradually from 4 718 in 2017/18 to 4 429 in 2020/21 financial years, as a result of termination of internship contracts.

The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform through the Department of Public Works secured a site for a single campus for the National Office to accommodate all Gauteng based offices within the department. An amount of R738.8 million has been set aside over the MTEF period to finance the project. The project has been allocated R239.4 million in 2018/19, R243 million in 2019/20 and R256.4 million in 2020/21.

Performance and expenditure trendsThe total budget allocated for programme 3: Rural Development amounts to R1.8 billion for the 2018/19 financial year respectively. Over the medium term, R2.9 billion is allocated for Agri-parks in the Rural Infrastructure Development sub-programme of the Rural Development programme, which constitutes 8.9 per cent of the department’s budget. The Agri-parks initiative supports rural enterprises, develops rural industries and facilitates the efficient movement of rural produce to markets. The initiative develops networked systems of agro-production, processing, logistics, marketing, training and extension services in district municipalities and developments on under-utilised land. Each Agri-park supports smallholder farmers by providing capacity building, mentorship, farm infrastructure, extension services, and production and mechanization inputs. Smallholder farmers own 70 per cent of an Agri-park, while the remainder will be owned by government and commercial farmers.

Creating job opportunities Rural Infrastructure Development programme through the National Rural Youth Service Corps (THE NARYSEC) initiative recruits unemployed youth from rural areas between ages of 18 and 25, who have passed grade 12 or have higher qualifications and equips them with business and entrepreneurial skills, whilst the Rural Enterprise Development programme contributes to skills development by facilitating skills development opportunities to rural communities. The initiative expects to decrease the number of opportunities provided over the medium term from 6 119 to reach a total of 6 000 by 2021. To implement skills development training, an allocation of R1.2 billion which constitutes 11.5 per cent of the department’s budget is made available over the medium term. The programme has a funded establishment of 499 posts, 444 posts are filled while 24 were filled in addition and the vacancy rate is at 11.02 per cent.

Performance and expenditure trends

The total budget allocated for programme 4: Restitution amount to R3.3 billion for the 2018/19 financial year. In 2016 the Constitutional Court ruled on Restitution of Land Rights Amendment Act (2014) invalid and contrary to the Constitution. The Commission on Restitution of Land Rights (CRLR) was tasked to resubmit the act within two years. In terms of the judgement, should all claims emanating from original lodgement be processed before the period lapses in July 2018, the Commission may approach the constitutional court for a review of the judgement. The CRLR resubmitted the Restitution Amendment Bill as a private members bill and is also fast tracking the settlement and finalisation of claims lodged prior to 1998 as per the Constitutional Court directive.

Consultants are extensively used as part the pre-settlement of claims and are a major cost driver in the Restitution programme. Over the MTEF period, R331.6 million will be spent on consultants conducting research to confirm the validity of claims, verification of claimants and the valuation of land.

The total number of claims finalised over the medium term is expected to be 2 851. A total of R10.8 billion is allocated for the settling and finalisation of land restitution claims over the MTEF period, which constitutes 32.5 per cent of the department’s budget.

The programme has a funded establishment of 744 posts, 721 posts are filled while six were filled in addition and the vacancy rate is at 3.22 per cent.

A labour tenant is defined in the Land Reform (Labour Tenants) Act (“LTA”) as a person residing or that has resided on a farm; the person must have worked on the farm and in return for the labour s/he is given a right to use some of the land in the farm for cropping or grazing; and their parents or grandparent must also have met the above two requirements.

The LTA provided for labour tenants to make an application to the DG for ownership or other rights in the land that the labour tenant occupied and used for cropping and grazing; or land that was occupied in previous 5 years from which the labour tenants was unlawfully removed from; rights in another part of the farm; or servitudes that are consistent with right enjoyed by a labour tenant. The cut-off date was 31 March 2001.

Claims in terms of the LTA are therefore brought by people that either reside on a farm, or who resided on a farm or were unlawfully removed in the previous 5 years before lodging a claim in terms of that Act.
