This is part of the government's Land Redistribution Programme.

Ramaphosa also says farmers need support, and that the government will give it to them.

"This for me confirms the approach and the policy that we have taken to give the land back to our people, to people who can work the land. This notion that they must be regarded as emerging farmers is a fable."

"They are working farmers, they have been producing, they’re exporting and all they need is support and we are going to support them. Because for me, this is confirmation black people need the land which has always belonged to them that was taken away and we must support them in every way possible."
