Women from Engcobo in Eastern Cape will now have access and become owners of the land which is part of government to breathe new life into the rural economics.
This was announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa at the reburial of Dr Alfred Bathini Xuma in his home village of Manzana, Engcobo district. AB Xuma, a liberation Struggle hero, passed away in 1962 in Johannesburg and was buried at the Brixton cemetery. Ramaphosa declared a special official category 1 for AB Xuma’s burial.
“We are looking at ways to breathe new life into the rural economies, and how the resources of places like Engcobo can be used to support new industries, new businesses and cooperatives led by women. As part of the land reform process, we are going to ensure that women have access to land and are able to become owners of land, and that we as government give them our full support,” Ramaphosa said. “We know that empowering a woman is empowering a family, a community and a nation.
