“His Majesty endorsed Kwanalu’s proactive approach to agrarian reform and rural development; we received a strong message of support from his Majesty with him urging us to continue to lobby for agriculture in the province,” said La Marque.
Issues discussed include safety and security and in particular farm attacks and murders, stock theft, labour issues, CSI initiatives, natural resources.
Land reform and sustainable solution-orientated initiatives regarding infrastructure, training, mentorship, economic growth, rural development and social integration were debated too.
“Training and education, water shortage, import controls, community-orientated partnerships, the protection of natural resources and building a culture of “work” were areas of focus and goals we set ourselves.”
