Speaking to the UN yesterday, Mr Ramaphosa said the government of South Africa is still carrying out consultations to carry out the much-discussed land reform.

He said: "Nelson Mandela's vision continues to guide us as we seek to improve the lives of our people in many ways.

"We have started a comprehensive dialogue on the question of land reforms, as we seek ways to guarantee the land is shared by all."

Last month Mr Ramaphosa confirmed his ruling African National Congress (ANC) would try to pass a constitutional amendment to allow for the expropriation of white-owned land without compensation.
