In February 2014 the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform, Gugile Nkwinti,
published a policy paper on land reform and restitution titled 'Strengthening the Relative
Rights of People Working the Land'. This policy has been adopted pursuant to the
Green Paper on Land Reform which was passed in 2011. The policy proposes that farm
laborers assume ownership of half the land on which they are employed. The ownership
would be 'proportional to their contribution to the development of the land, based on the
number of years they had worked on the land'. The 'historical owner' of the farm
'automatically retains' the other half, in spite of the provisions of section 25 of the
Constitution which protects the right to property. According to the Minister, farmers, farm
workers and unions have until 2015 to comment and contribute to the policy proposal.
