NATIONAL NEWS - President Cyril Ramaphosa has promised not to sideline traditional leaders.
Ramaphosa was addressing the National House of Traditional Leaders at Parliament on Thursday.
He conceded that the African National Congress (ANC) government has in the past failed to consult them on critical issues and said that legislation must be amended to give effect to the party’s policy on land expropriation without compensation.
Ramaphosa says the burning issue of land reform must be handled with care.
He has raised concerns over reports that certain South African organisations are approaching international investors, warning them about South Africa and its new land policy.
Ramaphosa says the government will handle the matter carefully through dialogue and discussion and that investment in land and farming can continue.
