Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti officially handed over part of a 904-hectare farm near Komani to 102 of its residents on Friday.
The Gallawater Farm beneficiaries are part of a “one household, one hectare” and “one household, five sheep” government programme which envisages that as a household’s small flock grows, so does their land allocation.
According to the department’s Malerato Molokoane, it is part of a strategy to combat poverty by creating sustainable employment in rural households by rekindling a class of black smallholder farmers.
