Ramaphosa Hands Over Land and Title Deeds To 30 Black Farmers in Tafelkop, Limpopo

THERE were scenes of jubilation as President Cyril Ramaphosa handed over land and title deeds to 30 black farmers Tafelkop in the Groblersdal district of Limpopo.

The hand over is part of the government’s Land Redistribution Programme.

Addressing the Tafelkop Farmers Association, Ramaphosa said farmers needs support and that the handover of these title deeds to the members of the Tafelkop Farmers Association marked a milestone in a long journey.

The Tafelkop community has spent over 25 years fighting to receive title deeds. 
 
“This for me confirms the approach and the policy that we have taken to give the land back to our people, put people can work the land. This notion that they must be regarded as emerging farmers is a fable,” said Ramaphosa.

“This land is currently being used to farm tobacco, cotton and fresh produce, and has great potential for even more farming activities.”
