Since 2012, 2000-plus ILGs have registered their land and the department, starting next year, will have teams going out to the provinces to register ILGs.
Over 18,000 Integrated Land Groups registered prior to 2012 will have to re-register their land.
Landowners from all sectors, including agriculture, mining and forestry are encouraged to do so before 2022. This is because all existing ILGs were never sanctioned properly, with over 70 percent of those identified as non-genuine landowners from the urban areas.
