Government wants to ban foreigners from buying agricultural land.
It also wants to compel foreigners selling land to offer the Rural Development and Land Reform Minister the right of first refusal.
The Minister (Gugile Nkwinti) published the Regulation of Agricultural Land Holdings Bill on Friday, giving stakeholders until 16 April to comment.
Arabile Gumede (in for Bruce Whitfield on The Money Show) interviewed Theo Boshoff (Manager: Legal Intelligence at Agricultural Business Chamber).
Listen to the interview in the audio below (and/or scroll down for quotes from it).
