The group of experts appointed by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to advise the South African government on how to solve the problem of land reform, restitution and redistribution presented its final report on Tuesday, June 11, the country's president said.
The right to land is one of the most acute problems in South Africa more than two decades after the end of apartheid government policy.
Last year, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow the government to alienate land without compensation.
Plans were approved by parliament in December, and the draft law on land reform should be re-discussed. The advisory group report will be key to what the final land law will look like.
The political aspects studied by the commission included the level of financial support provided to new farmers, compensation to current land owners on the target land, and what forms of ownership or rental regimes would be used.
To become law, the proposed reforms must go through both houses of parliament and then be approved by the president. It is not yet clear how long this process will take.
