Cape Town – President Jacob Zuma reiterated that there are weaknesses in South Africa’s willing-buyer, willing-seller principle which delay land reforms and that land restitution without compensation is under way.

Addressing the official opening of the House of Traditional Leaders at Parliament on Friday, he said the willing-buyer, willing-seller situation causes the state to be a price taker in an unfair process.

“In addition, there are too many laws dealing with land reform, which cause confusion and delays,” Zuma said.
