Government to release land

Over the next two weeks government plans to issue advertisement notices for 896 farms.

Around 700, 000 hectares of unused and vacant state land will be leased to emerging farmers for 30 years.

Successful candidates will also be provided with technical and financial support from government.

To find out how the process works and who will be eligible,

we spoke to the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, Thoko Didiza.
