AGRICULTURAL NEWS - “Strategically located land will be released to address human settlement needs in urban and peri-urban areas,” South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said during his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday evening.
According to Ramaphosa, South Africa still had large areas of underutilised or unproductive land: “We intend to use it as a solid foundation to help develop agriculture in our country for the benefit of all.”
He added that there were about 250 000 developing farmers who needed support to fully develop their farming enterprises.
