SCENARIO 1SCENARIO 1

The first scenario relates to planning based on the current MTEF, in The first scenario relates to planning based on the current MTEF, in terms of which the Department will be able to deliver land as follows:terms of which the Department will be able to deliver land as follows:

2008/2009 financial year: Within the baseline of R2 616b the 2008/2009 financial year: Within the baseline of R2 616b the Department will only be able to deliver 647 125 hectares. Set against Department will only be able to deliver 647 125 hectares. Set against the target of 1.5 m hectares an additional R2 325b is needed.the target of 1.5 m hectares an additional R2 325b is needed.



CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION


Scenario 2Scenario 2

The second scenario assumes an incremental approach, where The second scenario assumes an incremental approach, where the Department will be able to deliver the remaining 21.4 the Department will be able to deliver the remaining 21.4 million ha by 2014. It assumes that the current baseline will million ha by 2014. It assumes that the current baseline will be increased to the corresponding number of hectares to be be increased to the corresponding number of hectares to be delivered per year.delivered per year.

Incremental approach for 30% target: 2008 - 2014Incremental approach for 30% target: 2008 - 2014

Scenario 3Scenario 3

The third scenario assumes that with no additional budget The third scenario assumes that with no additional budget except that of the MTEF allocation (and based on a 6% except that of the MTEF allocation (and based on a 6% escalation in the outer years till 2014), the average number of escalation in the outer years till 2014), the average number of hectares that can be delivered is 809 623. Thus, the required hectares that can be delivered is 809 623. Thus, the required delivery of 22m hectares will (based on this scenario) take 17 delivery of 22m hectares will (based on this scenario) take 17 years (by the year 2025).years (by the year 2025).
