The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform cordially invites members of the media to a networking session. 2013 marks 100 years since the promulgation of the 1913 Natives Land Act, a discriminatory piece of legislation through which the majority of black South Africans were dispossessed of their land rights.

The horrendous effects of the implementation of the 1913 Natives Land Act by the previous regime are evident everywhere across the country.
