Parliament, Wednesday, 11 November 2026 – The Portfolio Committee on Land Reform and Rural Development met today to receive briefings from the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development, the Commission on Restitution of Land Rights, the Ingonyama Trust Board and the Office of the Valuer General on their provisional annual reports and annual financial statements.
The committee received apologies from the Minister of Land Reform and Rural Development, Mr Mwanele Nyhontsho, and the Deputy Minister of Land Reform and Rural Development, Mr Chupu Mathabatha, who were unable to attend due to a Cabinet meeting.
The meeting was scheduled to run from 09h30 to 17h00. The committee noted that the department’s late submission of its annual reports and annual financial statements had delayed the committee’s Budget Review and Recommendations Report, affecting the committee’s work.
The committee resolved to adjourn the meeting until the Minister is available to attend. The Minister’s office has been contacted to confirm a suitable date and time to reconvene the meeting as this meeting cannot be postponed indefinitely.
