73 Other bold steps government has taken include the huge investments made with the intention to ensure the sustainability of existing land reform projects hence the launch of the Recapitalisation and Development Programme. The programme is intended to revitalise and resuscitate land reform farms in distress as well as defunct irrigation schemes in the former homelands. More than 595 farms under the Recapitalisation and Development Programme (RADP) are now at various stages of development. Progress recorded under Recapitalisation includes sugar cane in KwaZulu-Natal, red meat in Free State, North West and Northern Cape, poultry in North West, Gauteng and Mpumalanga and citrus in Eastern Cape, Limpopo and Western Cape. There is however a need for stronger monitoring and support for the Recapitalisation and Development Programme in order to track levels of effectiveness. Furthermore, smallholder support programmes are being reviewed and a smallholder plan has been developed in line with New Growth Path targets. These plans are supported by a diverse array of agro-processing programmes under IPAP, including support for the soya bean processing, canning, bio fuels, furniture, and food processing industries, as well as small-scale maize milling in rural areas. In relation to policy aimed at addressing back-logs in land restitution and redistribution, government has initiated interventions such as the:        The Development of the Tenure Bill which is meant to address effective and efficient implementation of measures dealing with rights of the vulnerable persons residing on farms; The Green Paper on Land Reform was developed to configure a single coherent four-tier system of land tenure which ensures that all South African have reasonable access to land with secure rights in order to fulfil their basic needs of housing and productive livelihoods; The establishment of Land Allocation Control Committee aimed to improve the coordination between support and acquisition; Review of the “Willing seller willing buyer” model; Parliament is reviewing the cut-off date for the lodgement of claims post the December 31, 1998 deadline. Upon approval the process would afford the citizen who could not register their applications prior the 1998 deadline including the indigenous Khoi and San people, the opportunity to do so; Spatial planning and Land Use Bill, (April 2011) seeks to achieve coherent regulatory framework for spatial planning, land use management and land development; and The implementation of the CRDP programme in November 2010, resulted, as mentioned above, in the rehabilitation of unproductive small scale and commercial farms through building infrastructure However, it is important to note that the few amendments and shifts in government policy are informed by the apparent history of delays in land reform processes and the evident collapse of some land reform projects. It is government’s carefully considered view that the WBWS policy model has frustrated efforts to fast-track land reform, distorted the market, made land price negotiations excruciatingly prolonged and is increasingly making land reform financially untenable for the State. For example, if the willing buyer-willing seller model is pursued, R80 billion will be required to meet government land reform targets. Additional challenges that 73
