bereft of any plans for viable utilisation for agriculture

Broken promises over the years surrounding land grants for fired workers of the sugar belt have resurfaced once again, as the A Partnership For National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) coalition delivers its plans to garner votes at the upcoming polls.
In their manifesto launch on Friday, the coalition mentioned the creation of a State Land Resettlement Commission to “enable former sugar workers to access land for housing and agriculture”.
In contrast to the series of unfulfilled promises meted out to retrenched workers, Government has in the past, integrated plans to the tune of $2.6 billion to resuscitate agriculture in four villages namely Buxton, Ithaca, Beterverwagting and Mocha.
