Claimants run winning agri-project

Residents of Nkanini-Qwabe in Stanger, Ilembe will now be able to participate in the agricultural economy after KZN’s Agriculture and Rural Development MEC Themba Mthembu, together with the Commission for the Restitution of Land Rights, officially handed over title deeds worth R140 million to the community.

The Nkanini community was dispossessed of their land rights in 1971.

The department also launched the Qwabe-Nkanini Sugarcane Project, which received about R16 million in funding for ratoon management and infrastructure development.
