The communities demand government to expedite the process of land reform through a deliberate targeted and inclusive approach where their plight is escalated for restitution and reparation to facilitate restorative justice in the country,\u201d Tjaaranda explained. <br \/>He further chastised the Ancestral Land commission established by the president, stating that the commission does not address the right issue as it does not challenge the constitution.<br \/>According to figures from the Namibia Statistics Agency, in terms of private ownership of agricultural (commercial) land in Namibia, 34 237 254 hectares (86.2%) is privately owned by individuals, companies, estates and trusts, churches, farmers\u2019 associations and foundations. <br \/>The remaining 5 491 110 (13.8%) is owned by government mainly for resettlement farms, servitudes and research farms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":276796,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-276794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
