Agriculture, land reform and rural development minister Thoko Didiza will ask Parliament to put her in direct control of technical decisions at the Deeds Office, a new amendment Bill from her department shows.

That will include exactly how information on the foreign ownership of land, and the race of land owners, is collected.

On Friday, Didiza formally gave notice of her intention to put the Deed Registries Amendment Bill before the National Assembly soon, with the publication of an explanatory memorandum on the legislation.

The full text of the Bill shows that, if it were passed in its current form, it would remove the power of the Deeds Registries Regulations Board to make any actual regulations. It would, instead, become an advisory body that makes recommendations to the minister in charge of land affairs.

The minister may call on the board for specific advice, or the board could take it upon itself to proffer advice on how the deeds office runs, but there will be no obligation for the minister to heed any advice.

Just mark out some plots on this land and give a few million people their own farm.
No investigation needed.

If you sell your house you wont be able to sell to a white person if the area is predominantly white would be my distopian guess.

Just more communist centralisation underway.

They dont really have a say in that regard

Not yet. Why do you think they want:

To think about it, the deeds office is already part of the gov!

A better idea would be to make transfer duty triple for white buyers!

And to do that they need to:

Right now no, but you can't tell me that they need to centralise regulatory and management decision making so that stats SA can get better statistics on foreign and white land ownership?

You mean you don't already pay triple ? That is not acceptable. Let me talk to my ANC cadres and see what we can do about it.

Here's an idea for you, developed in SA. You get the SA government to tender to build sewage systems in India. You know, like getting Cuban engineers to do the work. You needn't even buy a single hard hat but you will be rich and the Indian population won't even know the difference and the Dalits will be none the wiser.

Government removed the racial identifier from ID Numbers that would have help them in this endeavour and other similar endeavours.

Also the government might be surprised to see actual land ownership by race when they do this exercise.

70% plus of all bond applications these days are from historical disadvantage people....

The immediate problem is this in my view,

The full text of the Bill shows that, if it were passed in its current form, it would remove the power of the Deeds Registries Regulations Board to make any actual regulations. It would, instead, become an advisory body that makes recommendations to the minister in charge of land affairs.

another advisory board which necessitates upkeep when the Ministry will in any case proceed with their own decisions. This is seen all over our government. Selective governance...

yes, because when those 70% of applicants apply for bonds for a flat, they own that land. I thought you were a superior species ?
