The mandate of the department is

derived from the five priorities of

the ruling party, and government’s

Medium-term Strategic Framework

(MTSF). In May 2009 we embarked

on a journey that was to pave the

path for rural development and

land reform in South Africa; this

culminated in the development of the

Comprehensive Rural Development

Programme (CRDP). The CRDP

has set us on a new course for

post-colonial reconstruction and development. It is

about changing rural people’s lives, and enabling

them to take control of their destiny and enjoy the

freedoms and dignity promised by our Constitution.

People remain central to development and, as such,

the programme will consciously place particular

emphasis on empowering rural communities to take

charge of their destiny.

In his State of the Nation Address, President Zuma

once again highlighted the strategic importance of

rural development and land reform as a lever for

improving the lives of the previously disadvantaged

people in our country.

The improvement of the lives of rural communities

remains high on governments’ agenda; it is therefore

befitting that our government has placed much

needed emphasis on job creation. The New Growth

Path provides strategies for job creation, and as

such, the department will contribute by ensuring

that job creation strategies and programmes are

developed with particular bias to rural areas. Five

hundred-thousand (500 000) jobs must be created

in the rural sector over the next 10 years.

Land is a catalyst for poverty

alleviation, job creation, food

security and entrepreneurship.

The department has therefore

taken a conscious decision to

recapitalise all distressed land

reform projects, and to provide

support to emerging farmers and rural communities.

It is envisaged that this intervention will ensure

production discipline, as well as contribute to job

creation and national food security. A budget has

been made available for this, and the necessary

capacity within the department to implement

this continues being created. In addition to this,

the department has adopted a developmental

approach to the settlement of restitution claims, in

line with the principles of the CRDP.

We are currently developing two separate Green

Papers, one on Rural Development and the other on

Land Reform and Agrarian Transformation. These will,

respectively, articulate and elaborate on how South

Africa will achieve effective rural change and equitable

access to, and sustainable utilisation of, land.

The department is committed to the achievement

of Outcome 7 of the 12 Outcomes which are being

implemented by government over the MTSF period,

that being: “vibrant, equitable and sustainable

rural communities and food security for all”. The

success of the department over the MTSF period

will be measured against the implementation of the

Minister’s foreword

Mr G E Nkwinti (MP)

Development & Land Reform

following outputs as outlined in Outcome 7:

• Sustainable agrarian reform, with a thriving small

and large farming sector;

• Improved access to diverse and affordable food;

• Improved rural services to support sustainable

livelihoods; and

• Improved employment opportunities and

economic livelihoods;

• Enabling institutional environment for sustainable

and inclusive growth.

South Africans have entrusted the government

with the mandate of rural development and land

reform. They entrusted us with their future. As a

responsive and responsible organ of government,

the department will implement policies that will

create a better life for all. It will work together with

other government and civil society organs, to

achieve success.

It isherebycertifiedthatthisStrategicPlan:

• Was developed by the management of the

Department of Rural Development and Land

Reform under the guidance of Minister G Nkwinti;

• Takes into account all the relevant policies,

legislation and other mandates for which the

Department of Rural Development and Land

Reform is responsible;

• Accuratelyreflectsthestrategicoutcome-oriented

goals and objectives which the Department of Rural

Development and Land Reform will endeavour to

achieveoverthenextfiveyears,startingfrom2011.

The Department of Rural

Development and Land Reform is

driven by the strategy of ensuring one

job in every rural household. From

the CRDP entry point of mobilising

and organising rural people it will

build unemployed people’s skills -

particularly the youth - and unleash

them in their own communities to do

decent work.

To this end, strategic partnerships

with Further Education and Training Colleges (FET),

the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and

Universities of Technology will be entered into. The

HSRC has developed training modules for use in

intensive preparations of young people to run their

own enterprises, so that they can create sustainable

jobs in their own communities. The department will

also focus on transforming them from being job

seekers to being job creators to break the cycle

of dependency on social grants through the first

Comprehensive Rural Development Programme job

creation model.

Unemployment and lack of employment

opportunities continue to be major challenges

facing rural communities, particularly the youth.

In this regard, the department has embarked on

a programme known as the National Rural Youth

Service Corps (NARYSEC) to uplift the rural youth by

providing opportunities that will enable them to be

employable through skills development.

A participatory approach to rural development has

been adopted to ensure that the rural communities

are able to take full charge of their

collective destiny. The approach is

predicated on social mobilisation of

the rural communities to facilitate

ownership of rural development

projects and programmes. In the

targeted wards, communities will

be organised into community organisations and

cooperatives in line with development initiatives

and local opportunities that have been identified

through an interactive process. The essence of

the CRDP therefore is that people are not the

targets of development, but rather the subjects

of their own development. It is also imperative

that the infrastructural development projects and

other development initiatives implemented by this

departmentensurethatcommunitiesbenefitdirectly.

All programmes of the department will be guided

by the principles of equity, equality and allocation

of resources in a gender-responsive manner. To

give effect to this, the department will pay particular

attention to the land rights needs and interests of

women, youth, children and older persons.

Deputy Minister’s Statement

It gives me great pleasure to

present the Strategic Plan of

one of the most complex, yet

extremely important, priorities

of our government. The rural

development programme can be

viewed as the legacy of President

Zuma and his Cabinet.

Although South Africa has been

a democratic State since 1994, it

is alarming to note that rural areas

remain so extremely underdeveloped economically

and socially. It is for this uncomfortable situation that

the Department of Rural Development and Land

Reform was created.

The focus of this department is the agrarian

transformation of society in South Africa. Rural

and agricultural development lay a solid foundation

for food security, food sovereignty and economic

development in general.

In its quest to create vibrant, equitable and sustainable

rural communities, the department has implemented

the CRDP in several rural wards in the country. Since

the launchof thefirstpilotsiteby thePresidentof

the Republic in Muyexe, Limpopo, in August 2009

the department has expanded the implementation

of the CRDP in just over 60 rural wards in a space of

18 months. This work will, in future, be rolled out to

all rural municipalities.

An exciting new vehicle in the rapid expansion of the

CRDP to all rural municipalities is the birth of the National

Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) programme

which was purposefully conceived to involve

unemployed rural youth as agents for

change in the transformation of rural

areas. Over 7 500 young people have

been recruited thus far.

Land reform remains one of

government’s key priorities.

Since the inception of the programme in 1994, the

government has redistributed approximately 7,4

million hectares to previously disadvantaged South

Africans who in the past did not have access to land.

The challenges in our current service delivery model

aswell as fiscal constraints have compelled us to

review our approach relating to land reform. The

following principles underpin our new approach

towards sustainable land reform, namely:

• De-racialisation of the rural economy for shared

and sustained growth;

• Democratic and equitable land allocation and

use across gender, race and class; and

• Strict production discipline for guaranteed

national food security.

While achieving equitable distribution of land remains

a fundamental policy of government, there is an

even more urgent need to ensure that land reform is

measured not only through equity, but also through

productivity, leading to enhanced food security for all,

job creation and skills training amongst beneficiaries

and black farmers. To give effect to this, the department

Director-General’s Overview

Mr P M Shabane

Director-General of Rural

has already recapitalised 411 farms and is in the

process of planning for the revitalisation of 27 irrigation

schemes across the country in the next MTEF period.

In order to drive our strategy, we have undergone a

restructuring process that resulted in the redesign of

the organisational structure. In the Support Services

branch, the department has pulled together the

strengths of key Chief Directorates to create a

strongcentre,calledthe“BackOffice”.Thecreation

of the “Back Office” as a centre of excellence is

amongst the key priorities in the MTEF. The purpose

is to enhance service delivery, communication and

information flow among people and to encourage

individual responsibility and decision-making.

The department will also continue to work on

improving its policies and legislation in order to

support rural development, land reform and land

administration services.

Overthenextthreetofiveyears,thedepartmentseeks

to align its planning, monitoring and evaluation with

the Presidency’s outcomes-based approach as well

as the National Treasury’s results-based management

approach. These approaches enable the department to

focus on outcomes rather than outputs, thus ensuring

that government programmes have an impact, in the

lives of all South Africans. This plan articulates how the

department has set out to do just that.

Reform and Agrarian Transformation gazetted by

May 2011

The Green Papers are a collective document of new

policy, legislation and institutional reform proposals

on rural development and land reform.

White Papers on Rural Development and on Land

Reform and Agrarian Transformation approved by

Cabinet by May 2012

The White Papers are a collective document of new

policy, legislation and institutional reform proposals

on rural development and land reform.

nationals (2011)

To provide conditions whereby non-South Africans

can own or have use rights on sensitive South

African land and landed assets.

Policy on the proposed Rural Development

Agency (2011)

To propose the establishment of an appropriate

institution with the resources and authority to drive

and coordinate an integrated programme of rural

development, land reform and agrarian change. The

Policy will investigate rationalising existing entities

with development content instead of the creation of

a new agency.

Policy on the establishment of a Land Management

Commission (2011/12)

To develop policy on a Land Management

Commission to support the implementation of the

three-tier land tenure system through the following

9. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

The purpose of this department is to respond to one

of the key priorities of the government: to develop

and implement a comprehensive rural development

(CRDP) strategy linked to land and agrarian reform,

as well as food security. The overall purpose of

rural development is to improve the quality of life of

rural households, enhancing food security through

a broader base of agricultural production and

exploiting the varied economic potential of each area.

The department’s strategy for rural development is

agrarian transformation. It is a system that denotes

“a rapid and fundamental change in the relations -

systems and patterns of ownership, and control of

land, livestock, cropping and community. Figure 1

below illustrates the agrarian transformation system.

The goal of this strategy is “social cohesion and

development”.

In order to achieve this strategy, the following key

initiativeswithintheCRDPhavebeenidentified:

The department is in the process of proposing two

separate Green Papers, one on Rural Development and

the other on Land Reform and Agrarian Transformation.

Part of the policy reforms that are being proposed

is a three-tiered system of land ownership in South

Africa. Legislative reforms include the Land Tenure

Security Bill, which aims to promote and protect

the relative rights of persons working and residing

on farms and farm owners as well as to enhance

the security of tenure of persons residing on farms

and to sustain production discipline on land in

the interest of food security. Institutional reforms

including the establishment of a Land Management

CommissionandaValuer-GeneralOfficetosupport

the proposed three-tier land tenure system.

9.1 PERFORMANCE DELIVERY ENVIRONMENT

The department operates in a volatile environment

which consists of a number of factors that will

influenceitsabilitytodeliveronitsmandate.Some

of these factors include: poor service delivery,

high unemployment rate especially in rural areas,

slow economic growth and social fragmentation in

rural areas. In order to address these challenges,

the department has undergone a thorough and

robust strategic planning process. From the

intensive engagements it became apparent

that the department needs to consider taking a

different outlook on how it operates. The outcomes-

based approach adopted by the Department of

Performance Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) in

the Presidency and government in general calls for

a different modus operandi. The department has

therefore identified its “business as usual” – those

things that it has been doing as part of its previous

and current mandate – as the sustained agenda; and

its business “unusual” – the things that it must now

do because of the changes affecting government,

i.e. to deliver 12 outcomes – as the change agenda.

Figure 2 illustrates the overlap between the “change

agenda and sustained agenda”.

Figure 2: Sustained agenda and change agenda

In its “sustained agenda”, the department

will continue to provide land reform and land

administration services that it has become known

for by the general public. However, these services

will be more intensified to ensure an improved

service delivery. The focus of the “changed agenda”

is mainly the new focus areas in Outcome 7.

In an attempt to integrate the “sustained and change

agenda” with respect to land reform and rural

development, the department has identified the

National Rural Youth Services Corps (NARYSEC),

the roll-out of phase II of the Comprehensive

Rural Development Programme (CRDP) and the

Recapitalisation and Development Programme as

strategic interventions during the medium term period.

These interventions will be key in addressing the plight

of the disadvantaged people, particularly in rural areas.

In contribution to the country’s New Growth Path,

the CRDP job creation model that was developed

in 2009 will be more important than ever before to

ensure job creation in the rural sector. In line with the

New Growth Path for South Africa, the Government

has categorically indicated that 500 000 jobs

must be created in the rural development sector

in the next 10 years. To date 1 619 jobs have been

createdthroughtheCRDP.Thisfiguredoesnottake

into consideration the jobs created in land reform

projects. President Zuma has instructed all to come

up with practical programmes for job creation.

In the past financial years, the department has

been found lacking in its internal control systems

by the Audit Committee and the Auditor-General.

It is therefore logical that improving corporate

governance has been identified amongst the key

priorities articulated in this strategic plan. The

Support Services branch has been delegated the

task of ensuring that internal controls are improved in

the department. Internal audit will be key in ensuring

that such a strategy bears results.

The department has realised that in order to achieve

its strategic goals and objectives as set out in

this plan, it will have to improve service delivery,

processes, systems and structure. To this end one

of the key focus areas will be to improve corporate

governance and achieve service excellence.

Between 1994 and 2010, approximately 7,4 million

hectares of land were transferred or redistributed to

previously disadvantaged persons through the land

reform programme (Restitution and Redistribution)

mainly for agricultural purposes. The performance

of this programme has unfortunately not yielded the

desired results due to various factors. One of these

factors was the lack of capacity building for new land

owners or farmers in order to enable them to farm

productively and improve economic development.

To address this in 2010, the department introduced

the Recapitalisation Programme. The objective of

this programme is to recapitalise all distressed farms

that have been redistributed since 1994. In addition

to this, the department seeks to establish strategic

partnerships to provide technical support to all

struggling land reform projects by working together

with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and

Forestry (DAFF), the Department of Water Affairs,

the Land Bank and social partners. In this MTEF, the

department will continue to fast-track the pace of

land reform by acquiring strategically located land,

ensuringthefinalisationandsettlementoflandclaims

and ensuring that the agricultural land we allocate is

productive, thus contributing to food security and rural

development.

Heeding to the President’s call to improve the

lives of the poor in rural areas, the department

drafted and implemented the CRDP strategy.

This strategy is aimed at effectively responding

to poverty and food insecurity by maximising the

use and management of natural resources as well

as creating social cohesion in rural communities,

thus contributing to sustainable rural development.

17


In attempting to implement the strategy, the

department took a decision to roll out the CRDP to

160 sites between 2009 and 2014. To date, over 60

sites have been rolled out throughout the country.

Going forward, the department will continue with

the CRDP roll out and also focus on the provision

of new, the revitalisation and/or upgrading of

existing economic, social, public and information

communication infrastructure in identified CRDP

wards, while continuing to support the existing

CRDP sites already established in the 2009/10 –

2010/11 financial year. Within this strategy, food

security, the building of sustainable livelihoods

and skills training are key focus areas for the rural

development programme.

Improving the country’s land administration

system remains crucial to land reform and rural

development, and the development of the country

in general. The e-cadastre system, championed

by the Deeds Registrar and the Chief Surveyor-

General remains work-in-progress and should be

finalised within this MTEF. The e-cadastre seeks

to improve the deeds registration turn-around

times and also facilitate the rationalisation of

the areas of jurisdiction for Pretoria, Limpopo,

Vryburg, Cape Town, Mthatha, King William’s

Town and Kimberley.

Outcomes-based approach: The “change agenda”

The introduction of the outcomes-based approach

to performance monitoring and evaluation has

resulted in government having a paradigm shift in

the way that it operates. Twelve outcomes have

been identified by The Presidency and ministers

are required to lead these. The Minister of Rural

Development and Land Reform is the coordinator

of Outcome 7: Vibrant, equitable and sustainable

rural communities and food security for all, thus

making the department the lead department for

this outcome. This outcome will be realised through

five outputs (which have been integrated to the

departmental strategic goals), namely:

Output 1: Sustainable agrarian reform, with a

thriving small and large farming sector;

Output 2: Improved access to affordable and

diverse food;

Output 3: Improved rural services to support

sustainable livelihoods;

Output 4: Improved employment opportunities

and economic livelihoods; and

Output 5: Enabling institutional environment for

sustainable and inclusive growth.

Whilst the department coordinates Outcome 7, it

also contributes to other outcomes, e.g. Outcomes

4, 6, 9 and 10. The department has already

committed its contribution to these outcome leaders

or coordinating departments. These contributions

are also factored in the departmental Annual

Performance Plan (APP). Figure 3 depicts Outcome

7 and its outputs. At the centre of the diagram is

the Outcome: Vibrant, sustainable, equitable rural

communities and food security for all.

18


9.2 ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

The department has an establishment of 5 228

posts, of which 4 985 are funded. The number

of posts filled in 2010/11 is 4 502. Due to the

change of the departmental mandate, the final

organisational structure is still to be approved

and will then be aligned to a proposed new

budget structure and this strategic plan.

The department’s organisation design process was

used to match the form of the organisation as closely

as possible to the purpose(s) that the department

seeks to achieve through processes. Through this

design method, the department acts to improve the

probability that the collective efforts of members will

be aligned and successful.

The department also strives, through the practice of

process-driven organisation design, to match people

and processes to the purpose, vision, and strategy

of the organisation. The organisational structure

has been designed to enhance service delivery,

communicationandinformationflowamongpeople

and to encourage individual responsibility and

decision-making.

The department is clustered into nine branches for

efficient service delivery and better coordination.

Table 1 below depicts the branches’ names and

purposes.

9.4 Description of the strategic planning process

This strategic plan was developed by the senior

management of the department through a series of

strategic planning sessions led by the Chief Directorate:

Planning,MonitoringandEvaluation.Thefirstsessions

entailed strategic discussions with top management

that set the strategic direction for the department.

During these sessions the management outlined the

department’s key priorities by taking into consideration

government’s key priorities and the 12 outcomes of

government as identified in the MTSF (particularly

Outcome 7, which is coordinated by the Minister of Rural

Development and Land Reform). This followed individual

branch consultations with the relevant stakeholders.

During these sessions the following was covered:

• An environmental analysis was conducted, focusing

on both the external and internal environments;

• Discussion on the mandate of the department

and whether or not the vision and the mission

statements respond to this mandate;

• The Director-General highlighted the key priorities

of the department and these were discussed

and agreed upon;

• Identifying the change and sustained agenda in the

midst of changes in government, particularly with

the introduction of the 12 outcomes of government;

• Integrating Outcome 7 (change agenda) into

the department’s sustained agenda in order to

ensure alignment to government’s initiatives; and

• Ensuring that the strategic plan links to the State

of the Nation Address, Cabinet Lekgotla and the

Budget Vote

Having covered these key issues, strategic goals

and objectives, their measures were formulated in

order to give effect to the department’s mandate,

vision and mission.

10. STRATEGIC OUTCOME ORIENTED GOALS

10.1 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND GOALS

The department’s priorities are derived from

its mandate, vision and mission. They seek to

RESOURCE CONSIDERATIONS

The Administration programme is mainly a support

programme thereby providing strategic and logistical

support to the other departmental programmes. Due

to the expansion of the organisation the spending

focuswillbeonofficeaccommodation.

In the previous financial years the programme’s

expenditure increased from R423.5 million in 2007/08

to R770.7 million in 2010/11, at an average annual

rate of 22.1 percent. The department’s property

management budget allocation was determined

by the Department of Public Works in this period.

Over the MTEF period, expenditure is expected to

decrease to R648.8 million, at an average annual rate

of 5.6 percent, due to savings on the department’s

non-core items. Property management costs are

currently funded in the department’s own vote.

Property management costs increased in 2009/10

as a result of the largest staff complement required

forthenewruraldevelopmentmandate,reflectedin

theOfficeAccommodationsub-programme.

Officeaccommodationallocationfor2009wasR40

million, but actual spending was R130 million which

necessitated a virement of R90 million. The 2010

budget allocation was R50.6 million, and spending

to date of R88.5 million with projected spending of

a further R30 million will require a 2011 virement

of at least R50 million. The expected shortfall

over the MTEF period will be addressed through

reprioritisation within the department.

30


The organisational structure has been reviewed

to ensure that the department is adequately

capacitated to meet its service delivery challenges.

The vacancy rate has been reduced to below 10%.

However, it should be noted that it may rise during

the implementation of the revised organisational

structure. The additional vacancies will be prioritised

for filling within the available budget. The training

and development programmes will be focused on

ensuringthatemployeesaresufficientlycapacitated

to perform the new mandates of the department.

The Performance Management Development

System will be implemented, and it will ensure that

employees’ performance reviews are done regularly

to enable them to improve their performance.

PROGRAMME 2: GEOSPATIAL AND CADASTRAL SERVICES

Purpose

The Geospatial and Cadastral Services programme

is responsible for providing geospatial, cadastral

surveys, spatial planning information as well as

technical services in support of sustainable land

development. The programme consists of the

following sub-programmes:

Cadastral Surveys Management

The cadastral surveys management branch is

responsible for examining and approving all

surveys for the registration of land and real rights

that are intended to be registered in the deeds

office;maintainingrecords;compiling,maintaining

and revising maps of property boundaries; and

providing cadastral advisory services to other

government institutions. Cadastral surveys

management plays a key role in the land

administration of the country, in particular to land

development. There are eight Surveyors-General

throughout the country who are decentralised in

eight of the nine provinces. They are responsible for

the examination and approval of all land surveyed

in the country as depicted on diagrams, general

plans and sectional plans prior to registration at

the Deeds Registration office. It is also the sole

custodian of cadastral information.

During the MTEF, the branch will seek to improve

theefficiencyofcadastralsurveysmanagementand

information services by:

• reducingtheturnaroundtimefortheapprovalof

cadastral documents (diagrams, general plans

and sectional plans) from 15 days to 12 days by

2012/13;

• reducingthetimetakenforthemaintenanceand

archiving of cadastral documents from 15 days in

2010/11 to 10 days by 2012/13; and

• reducing the turnaround time for the supply of

cadastral documents from 5 days in 2010/11 to 3

days by 2011/12.

The e-cadastre (a project in conjunction with the

Deeds Registration Office) will be implemented

by 2014 and the examination and approval

time will be drastically reduced to below eight

days, maintenance of spatial information will be

automated within the system, land register or

inventory will be kept current (updated instantly).

Training officials in the geo-information system

will receive priority in the next three years. The

cadastral training unit will train cadastral officers

to increase the capacity for the sub-programme

and the department. It will also provide the

internship programme for survey technicians and

professional land surveyors-in-training.

Deeds Registration

The purpose of the branch Deeds Registration sub-

programme is toprovideanefficient registrationof

rights in land that underpins security of land tenure.

31


Its core functions, which includes the 10 Deeds

Registries falling under the supervision of the Chief

Registrar of Deeds are as follows:

• Toregisterrealrightsinland;

• Tomaintainapubliclandregister;

• Toprovideregistrationinformation;and

• Tomaintainanarchiveofregistrationrecords.

The Deeds Registration programme administers the

Deeds Registries Act, (Act No. 47 of 1937) and the

Sectional Titles Act, (Act No. 95 of 1986). The Deeds

Registration Regulation Board and the Sectional

Titles Regulation Board are both created in terms

of the Deeds Registries Act (Act No. 47 of 1937) as

well as the Sectional Titles Act (Act No. 95 of 1986),

respectively. These two bodies are responsible for the

development of policies, enactment and amendment

of legislation relating to deeds and sectional titles

registration. They have been created in order to

advise the Minister regarding policy matters.

The Branch Deeds Registration is responsible for

providing a high quality deeds registration system

whereby secure titles are registered and speedy

and accurate information is provided, with special

emphasis on land reform and rural development.

Furthermore, they maintain public land registers.

The impact thereof issecurityof title,efficient land

use and land administration services. Each secure

land right provides a source of wealth, a negotiable

asset and a platform for investment for the rights

holder, thus contributing to poverty alleviation and

socio-economic development.

The introduction of the e-cadastre project is aimed

at reducing deeds registration turnaround times and

will be implemented over the MTSF/MTEF period.

An enterprise architecture will be designed, which is

aimed at consolidating Cadastral Surveys and Deeds

Registration data stores. Back-scanning of all the

paperandmicrofilmrecordsinordertomakeavailable

all of our records will also commence simultaneously

in order to make these records digitally available. This

project will facilitate the rationalisation of the areas

of jurisdiction for Pretoria, Limpopo, Vryburg, Cape

Town, Mthatha, King William’s Town and Kimberley.

The Deeds Registration programme seeks to

improve the efficiency of Deeds Registration and

information services during the MTEF period by:

• reducingtheturnaroundtimefortheregistration

of deeds and documents from 10 days to 7 days

by 2011/12 in all deeds registries; and

• providing land registration services and

information to support the government’s

developmental agenda (Outcomes 7 and 8).

The e-cadastre will be implemented within this MTEF

and it is envisaged the examination and registration

of deeds and related documents will be drastically

reduced to below 4 days. The updating of the public

land register will be automated. In addition to this,

the accuracy and reliability of the Land Register will

be prioritised thus strengthening security of title in

the next three years.

National Geospatial Information

National Geospatial Information, formerly known

as Surveys and Mapping, is an important chief

directorate of this programme. It is responsible for

the provision of geospatial and spatial planning

information as well as technical services in support

of sustainable land development. It also promotes

and controls all matters related to geodetic and

topographical surveying, and geospatial information

services, including the South African Spatial Data

Infrastructure.

During the MTEF, the sub-programme will provide

fundamental geospatial information as a national

asset in accordance with user needs by:

32


• Maintaining985referencebeaconsofthenational

control survey network by 31 March 2012;

• Acquiring earth imagery of South Africa at 0.5

ground sample distance covering 310 000 km2

by March 2012;

• Producing 1 660 maps of South Africa in the

national map series by March 2012;

• Implementing the SA Spatial Data Infrastructure

(SASDI) through development and maintenance of

the technical infrastructure, standards, institutional

framework and the development and monitoring of

policy framework by 31 March 2013;

• Recordingonmapstoannuallymonitorchanges

in actual land use due to land development; and

• Completingtheupdateoftheintegrateddatabase

of fundamental geospatial information by July 2011.

Spatial Planning and Information

The purpose of this chief directorate is to provide

for National Land Use Management, Spatial

Planning and Spatial Information Systems. During

the MTEF the sub-programme will continue to strive

towards providing an integrated land planning and

administration system that promotes equitable and

sustainable land use and allocation by:

• Stimulatingdevelopmentinareasofpovertyand

reduction in spatial inequalities

• Identifying strategically located land and

facilitating access for sustainable use by rural

communities;

• Developing and implementing targeted policies

andlegislationtosupportefficientnationalspatial

planning and land use management;

• Providingtechnicalsupportforruralcommunities

to ensure productive use of land;

• Supporting municipalities with spatial planning

and land use management; and

• Supporting all the CRDP wards with spatial

planning.

In addition to the above-mentioned sub-programmes,

two sub-programmes have recently been added to

the programme. They are:

Rural Disaster and Mitigation Services

The Presidency has acknowledged disaster

management and mitigation chief directorate as

a joint function shared amongst the departments

of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs

(CoGTA), Rural Development and Land Reform

(DRDLR), Community-based Organisations (CBOs)

and Municipalities. This has been spelled out in

the Outcome 7 document which focuses on “rural

development and food security for all”. Output 5 of

the said outcome focuses on creating an “enabling

institutional environment for sustainable and inclusive

growth”. The goal of output 5 is inter alia to achieve

“50% of rural municipalities that have systems for

disaster management and mitigation to facilitate rapid

response to rural disasters by 2014.”

Technology Research and Development

Technology Research and Development (TRD) chief

directorate has been created within the Department of

RuralDevelopmentandLandReformwithaspecific

mandate to conduct research and development on

Technologies that could be deployed in rural areas

for development and to achieve the objective of

providing quality of life for all. This is critical in terms

of addressing some of the challenges faced by our

rural communities, eg. lack of basic services.

Technology development, the use of indigenous

knowledge systems and appropriate technologies

remain central in the implementation of the CRDP.

In previous financial years, the programme’s

expenditure increased from R256.9 million in

2007/08 to R486.7 million in 2010/11, at an average

annual rate of 23.7 percent, which is mainly due

to the major role this programme has to play with

the achievement of Outcome 7, as well as the

implementation of the long outstanding OSDs

and JEs. Expenditure is expected to increase as

a result of the implementation of the SA Spatial

Data Infrastructure, the improvement of service

delivery in provinces in terms of easy access for

local users of cadastral services (i.e. land surveyors,

planners, public and government departments), the

development of Spatial Development Frameworks

for rural municipalities, the review of Land Use

Management Bill and Revitalisation of Rural Towns

project to support CRDP.

The spending focus for this programme will be on

the following objectives:

PROGRAMME 3: RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Purpose

The Rural Development Programme is responsible for

initiating, facilitating, coordinating and catalysing the

implementation of a Comprehensive Rural Development

Programme (CRDP) that leads to sustainable and

vibrant rural communities. The programme consists of

the following internal branches and sub-programmes:

Social, Technical, Rural Livelihoods and Institutional

Facilitation (STRIF)

The purpose of this branch is to create an

enabling institutional environment for sustainable

rural development and to provide for social and

economic development in rural communities and

sustainable livelihoods. Its functions are based

on the social mobilisation of communities to

ensure that rural communities take ownership of

rural development projects and programmes, in

accomplishing the established rural development

forums and partnerships, increasing food

security and creation of jobs. The branch is also

represented at provincial level, in the Provincial

Shared Service Centres (PSSCs) where

implementation is taking place.

During the medium-term period, the branch will

focus on rural enterprise development and food

security. In this regard, all rural households that have

a demonstrable interest in agricultural productivity

will be assisted in their household gardens and

crop fields. They will receive a variety of inputs

ranging from plants to livestock and mechanisation

assistance so that their household gardens and

fallowcropfieldsmaybeusedmoreproductively.

Rural Infrastructure Development (RID)

The purpose of the branch is to facilitate improved

access to basic services, economic and income

generating opportunities through improved physical

infrastructure in rural areas. In efforts to realise the

objectives of the CRDP in South Africa, the Rural

Infrastructure Development (RID) sub-programme,

through the broader mandate of the Department of Rural

Development and Land Reform (DRDLR), will initiate,

coordinate, facilitate and be a catalyst in the provision

of infrastructure to vulnerable rural communities. The

branch is also represented at provincial level, in the

Provincial Shared Service Centres (PSSCs) where

implementation is taking place.

The spending focus over the medium term will be on

implementing the comprehensive rural development

programme, which entails building houses and

providing farming and infrastructure layout. In the

pastfinancialyearsexpenditureincreasedfromR3.5

million in 2007/08 to R342.4 million in 2010/11 at an

average annual rate of R360.8 percent.

Expenditure is expected to increase over the MTEF

period at an average annual rate of 38.2 percent to

reach R903.9 million. This is to provide improved

access to basic services and economic and income-

generating opportunities to improve physical

infrastructure in rural areas, and to mobilise rural

communities to ensure that they take ownership of

rural development projects and programmes.

As already mentioned, the programme is also represented

in all nine PSSCs across the country to implement rural

development projects concerning the CRDP. In this

regard vast changes have been made in the organisational

structure to accommodate this function.

39


PROGRAMME 4: RESTITUTION

Purpose

The Restitution programme is responsible for the

settlement of land restitution claims under the

Restitution of Land Rights Act (Act No. 22 of 1994),

as amended and to provide settlement support

to restitution beneficiaries. It contributes towards

the achievement of the departmental strategic

goal: Increased access to and productive use of

land by 2014.

The vision of restitution is to have persons or

communities dispossessed of property after June

1913, as a result of past racial discriminatory laws

and practices, restored to such property or receive

just and equitable redress.

This translates to restoring the land right lost in the

following manner:

• Land restoration

• Equitable redress

The programme is made up of the following sub-

programmes:

Restitution:NationalOffice

This sub-programme provides administrative and

professional support to the Commission on the

Restitution of Land Rights for processing and

investigating restitution claims. The sub-programme

also develops and coordinates restitution policy

and oversees court cases. Funding in this sub-

programme will be used mainly for compensation of

employees and related costs.

Restitution:RegionalOffices

The seven (7) Regional Land Claims Commissions

have now been integrated into the Provincial

Shared Service Centres across the country. These

Commissions are responsible for negotiating

restitution agreements and providing administrative

support services to regional land claims

commissioners. Funding in this sub-programme will

mainly be used for compensation of employees and

related costs.

These offices have their individual complement

of operational and support staff to ensure that

the objectives of the Commission are achieved.

Currently the Commission is in the process of

establishing the number of outstanding claims. Over

and above the outstanding claims, the Commission

still has an estimated 18 297 claims that have been

approved(committed)thatstillneedtobefinalised.

Since inception, the Commission has approved 76

023 claims to the value of R22.9 billion. Payments

to the value of R16.7 billion has been made, leaving

a balance of R6.2 billion under commitment. Table

4 gives an indication of the claims lodged, claims

Restitution Grants

This sub-programme makes grants available to

restore land and provides alternative land to restitution

beneficiaries.Itprovidesforpaymentofcompensation

and alternative relief, settlement planning and facilitation

assistance, as well as contributes to costs of resettling

communities. Funding in this sub-programme will

be used mainly for grants paid out to restitution

Justification To ensure that persons or communities dispossessed of property after

June 1913, as a result of past racial discriminatory laws and practices are

restored to such property or that they receive just and equitable redress.



The spending focus over the medium term will be on

settling outstanding restitution claims. In previous

financial years, the programme’s expenditure

decreased at an average annual rate of 0.6 per

cent from R3.6 billion in 2007/08 to R3.6 billion

in 2010/11. The reduction in expenditure was

because the Restitution Programme was expected

to be completed in 2008. In 2010/11 a R2 billion

reprioritisation was made in the 2010 adjusted

estimates of national expenditure, to increase the

2010 estimates of national expenditure allocation of

R1.5billion topayurgent court orders and finalise

critical outstanding land claims.

Over the MTEF period spending is expected to

decrease at an average annual rate of 8.2 percent to

reach R2.8 billion.

The Restitution Programme has experienced a high

staff turnover due to its complex nature. This has

resulted in the loss of institutional memory through

high staff turnover at all levels (senior managers,

project officers, legal, finance, supply chain and

human resources).

Shortage of the following critical skills in the

Commissionhasbeenidentified:

• Legal

• Quality assurance

• Researchers

• Information management

PROGRAMME 5: LAND REFORM

Purpose

To provide sustainable land reform programmes in

South Africa. The programme contributes towards

the achievement of the departmental strategic goal:

Increased access to and productive use of land by

2014. The programme is made up of the following

sub-programmes:

LandReformNationalOffice

This sub-programme is responsible for developing

and coordinating land reform products and

facilitating the implementation of land reform

programmes and projects. It also provides support

servicestoprovincialoffices,providesState land

administration services and provides information,

risk and compliance management in the Land

Reform branch.

LandReformOffices

programmes and projects, and administer state

landineachprovince.Duetothereconfigurationof

thedepartmentthesehavenowbeenredefinedas

Provincial Shares Service Centres (PSSCs) and their

function will be expanded to include all departmental

programmes.

Land Reform Grants

The land reform grants sub-programme makes

grants available for project and programme

planning, land acquisition and settlement. They

allow the department to plan, develop or improve

property.

KwaZulu-Natal Ingonyama Trust Board

The KwaZulu-Natal Ingonyama Trust Board makes

grants available for administering Ingonyama Trust land.

Land Reform Empowerment Facility

The Land Reform Empowerment Facility makes

transfers to Khula Enterprises Finance, the revolving

credit loan facility established by the department to

finance land acquisition and equity in commercial

farming ventures.

Agricultural Land Holding Account

The Agricultural Land Holding Account is responsible

forbuyingandholdinglanduntilsuitablebeneficiaries

are identified intermsoftheProvisionofLandand

Assistance Act (1993)

Since 1994, a considerable amount of progress

has been made with regard to the redistribution

of white-owned agricultural land to the previously

disadvantaged groups. However, challenges relating

to the productivity of this land remain. Over the next

three to five years the Land Reform Programme

will focus on improving the productivity of the

agricultural land that has been redistributed since

1994. This will be done through the Recapitalisation

and Development Programme initiated in 2010. This

programme will seek to assist land owners with

efficientutilisationof irrigation, increaseproduction

potential, mentoring of emerging projects and share

equity schemes. It is expected that 1 807 farms will

be recapitalised and developed by 2014.

This recapitalisation function is sustained by the

Recapitalisation and Development Fund (RDF),

created from 25% of the baseline land reform

budget per annum. The policy covers all land reform

beneficiaries, emerging farmers who purchased

farms with loan finance from different lending

42


institutions, without any state support and who are

experiencing the same hardships as land reform

beneficiaries.Inaddition,RADPwillapplytoirrigation

schemes and State farms in communal areas.

The acquisition and allocation of strategically located

landprocessseekstoassistlandtenurebeneficiaries

to access to land through land acquisition

programmes as well as the disposal of state land

to municipalities and communities for sustainable

home settlement and agricultural purposes. The

PLAS Trading Account will be the driving force for

the acquisition of strategically located land and the

warehousing thereof.
