The national question on the effectiveness of the land reform policy by government is under question as the province of the Free State hosted its consultative African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) Summit. As part of strengthening the APRM processes, the national focal point and Minister for the Public Service and Administration Mr Richard Baloyi undertook to convene provincial consultative conferences to input to the progress report to stakeholders on the implementation of the Programme of Action (PoA). Informed by the findings at the nine provincial consultative conferences, South Africa is expected to present its second progress report on the implementation of the PoA at the African Union Summit of Heads of States and Government of APRM participating countries in July 2010.
