Government to release 2.5 million hectares of state land to black farmers
President Cyril Ramaphosa used his weekly newsletter to announce that the state will release 2.5 million hectares of public land to emerging black farmers to address entrenched structural inequality in South Africa's agricultural sector. Ramaphosa warned that relying primarily on a small commercial farming segment to feed a growing population is unsustainable, noting that black farmers currently account for only roughly 10% of commercial output. The initiative aims to expand the commercial agricultural pipeline by pairing land allocations with mentoring, agricultural technology, and financial resources. Government departments are preparing implementation timelines to oversee the distribution process. Also in this briefing: Deputy police chief Sibiya resigns; SAPS calls it a dishonourable discharge; South Africa mourns music legend Babsy Mlangeni, dead at 83.
