COMMISSION ON RESTITUTION OF LAND RIGHTS ANNUAL REPORT 2012/2013 Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Rural Development and Land Reform 6 August 2013

COMMISSION ON RESTITUTION OF LAND RIGHTS The Commission on Restitution of Land Rights (CRLR) was established to solicit, investigate and resolve through negotiations and mediation claims for restitution from persons and communities dispossessed of rights in land after 19 June 1913, as a result of past racially discriminatory laws and practices and who lodged a claim no later than 31 December 1998. It refers disputed claims to the Land Claims Court and those agreed upon by the parties to the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform for settlement. 2

PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2012/2013 The targets of the CRLR are contained in the Annual Performance Plan of the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, which the Commission is an entity of. The target was the finalisation of 380 claims; and the settlement of 133 new claims. Claims are settled when an award is made by the Minister or by the Land Claims Court, and are finalised when the award is implemented and the file relating to the claim is closed. 3

PERFORMANCE AGAINST TARGETS In 2012/2013 the CRLR settled 602 new claims against a target of 133 and finalised 376 claims against the target of finalising 380 claims. 195,967 hectares of land acquired at a cost of R1, 57 billion, and financial compensation amounting to R993 million was awarded to successful claimants. A total of 111,278 people benefitted from the restitution programme in the 2012/2013 financial year. The total expenditure for the period under review was R2, 865, 691, 716 against the budget allocation of R2, 885, 753, 000, which amounts to 99.3%. 4
