The government has already set aside RTGS$53 million for the exercise. The compensation will be for infrastructural developments done on the land by the former farmers. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- A joint statement released by Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement Minister Perrance Shiri and Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube reads in part: > In this regard, the Ad Hoc Compensation Working Group, comprising Government officials and representatives of former farm owners, is working towards the computation and establishing the compensation quantum figure for farm improvements based on an agreed method of valuation. > Given the significant progress made to date, it is anticipated that this comprehensive farm improvements valuation exercise will be completed by the end of May 2019. > The completion of the work of the Ad Hoc Compensation Working Group will enable Government and former farm owners, in conjunction with cooperating partners, to progress towards closure of the land issue. > … In the meantime, the Government’s accelerated farm valuation exercise for farm improvements is expected to be complete by the end of this month. > This will pave the way for both parties to reach an agreement on the compensation quantum figure for farm improvements by the end of May 2019. Interim advance payments will be made directly to the former farmers by the Ministry of Agriculture. Meanwhile, reports claim that the government has issued a directive that all remaining white commercial farmers be issued with 99-year leases rather than the 5-year leases they were being given under a previous arrangement. *Related:* *FULL TEXT: Government Update On Compensation Of White Farmers (Land Reform)* *White Farmer Shoots Employee After Mistaking Him For A Dog* *$53 Million Set Aside Towards Compensation Of White Former Commercial Farmers* *New Farmers Contributing Towards Compensation Of White Farmers* *War Veterans Slam Trump, Support South Africa’s Decision To Seize Land Without Compensation* *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
