A bill is being drafted to create a court with greater powers for reform and restitution, justice minister Ronald Lamola says

The establishment of a Land Court as a permanent feature of SA’s judicial system is the only way to address the myriad problems faced by the Land Claims Court, justice & correctional services minister Ronald Lamola said on Thursday.

In a written reply to a parliamentary question by ANC MP Xola Nqola, Lamola cited the lack of permanent judges in the Land Claims Court as contributing to a dearth of land jurisprudence. “The Land Court will have a wider jurisdiction in respect of both the matters of land restitution and land reform. The envisaged legislation will provide opportunity to capacitate the court fully, both in terms of its personnel and its infrastructure.”
