Mabuza discusses land issue with traditional leaders in Free State─── 17:24 Thu, 25 Aug 2022
Most traditional leaders in the Free State don’t have land and those who do, say it’s not enough to accommodate everyone.
This was revealed by the chairperson of the Free State House of Traditional and Khoisan Leaders, Neo Mopeli.
He was speaking in Bloemfontein where Deputy President David Mabuza held engagements with Traditional and Khoisan leaders in the province.
Traditional and Khoisan leaders gathered at the President Hotel in Bloemfontein, in a bid to address their challenges with Deputy President David Mabuza. Mabuza met with the group, in his capacity as the Chairperson of the Inter-Ministerial Task Team which was set up by President Cyril Ramaphosa. The meeting was part of engagements to find solutions on challenges faced by rural communities.
Land distribution remains a crucial, thorny issue among traditional leaders in the Free State. Mopeli says they hope to receive a response on the land issue.
