The Commission on Restitution of Land Rights in the Western Cape needs help finding 34 land claimants in order to process their claims.
The commission sent a list of the claimants to the media, asking them to urgently get in touch with land restitution manager Xolela Batembu, reports the Cape Argus.
They are Allan Howard Adonis, Latief Abdulatief, Shaheen Adhikari, Hanna Booysen, Johannes Hermanus Bouwer, Majorie Battis, Dianne Bouwers, Georgina Angeline Beuke, Beatrice Davids, Ismail Abrahams, Hester Hartnick, Willem Hartnick and Hendrik Jacobus Hartzenberg.

Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development Reform spokesperson Vuyani Nkasayi said: “If you are one of the people whose name appears above, please contact us. If you know them, tell them we are looking for them.
“They must contact Xolela Batembu on 021 658 6870 or 082 827 6224, or email [email protected]”
The appeal comes as Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development Minister Thoko Didiza told Parliament that although 82 549 land restitution claims lodged by the 1998 deadline had been settled across the country, there were nearly 7 000 outstanding claims that had not been finalised.
