THE Government will issue bankable and transferable land tenure documents to all beneficiaries of the Land Reform Programme for farmers to access affordable financing and invest in their land.
In a post-cabinet media briefing in Harare this Tuesday, The Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Dr Jenfan Muswere outlined the government’s plans to address the challenges faced by farmers.
The Land Reform Programme was implemented at the turn of millennium to correct colonial imbalances in the ownership of land, which was mostly in the hands of the white minority.
To address these issues, the government will introduce a new system of land tenure documents.
“A cabinet oversight committee chaired by Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri has been constituted to lead this reform process,” said Dr Muswere.
Cabinet also received a briefing on prices of basic commodities and availability in the wake of recent recommendations made by the Monetary Policy Committee.
The Ministry of Industry and Commerce assured the nation that it will continue to monitor the situation and engage stakeholders to ensure market-relevant interventions are implemented.
