On Tuesday, Deputy President Paul Mashatile will conduct an oversight visit to the Ehlanzeni district municipality in Mpumalanga.
According to the deputy president’s office, the country’s second-in-command will conduct the oversight visit as chairperson of inter-ministerial committee (IMC) on land reform and agriculture.
“The IMC’s role is to oversee the implementation of the government’s land reform programme and interventions, as well as build on the successes and lessons learnt to date in the implementation of the social transformation agenda aimed at creating jobs, economic growth and investment facilitation in the province and the country,” reads a statement from Mashatile’s office.
During the visit, Mashatile will receive a progress report on the government’s coordinated response in fast-tracking land reform and agricultural support in the Ehlanzeni district.
His visit will also provide a platform to inform policymaking by identifying key enablers to improve the performance of government’s service delivery agenda.
The programme will include the Mpumalanga provincial government briefing on efforts to accelerate land reform and an oversight visit to the Laughing Waterfall farming projects in Nkomazi.
The deputy president will also engage with farmers working on state-lease farms and communal areas.
