The ABC has noted certain comments with regard to the re-opening of lodging restitution claims, as well as for claims predating 1913, which was the official cut-off date, with concern. Of note too is that 11 pieces of legislation with regard to Land Reform are to be submitted to Parliament this year, while a Green Paper on Rural Development is also being prepared.
