Abstract

Welcome to the third issue of Umhlaba Wethu, the quarterly update on land and agrarian reform in South Africa from the Programme for Land and Agrarian Studies at the University of the Western Cape. In this edition, we bring you a range of news and views on recent developments in the sector. Recent months have seen a number of important developments, both within and outside of government. Glen Thomas was appointed Director-General in the Department of Land Affairs. He was acting in this position after the departure of Dr Gilingwe Mayende. In the National Department of Agriculture (NDA), Masiphula Mbongwa was recently appointed as the new DG. We trust these appointments will contribute to enhanced delivery of land and support services to the rural poor.
