Performance indicator Reason for Variance Mitigating Plans

Number of land claims settled - Some of the projects planned for settlement in Quarter1 we settled in Quarter4

- However, additional 25 submissions for 24 claims received before 30 June 2014, still had to go through the quality assurance process and could therefore not be routed for approval before the end of quarter-In addition, there are also 23 submission for 21 claims where only received in July 2015.

We are strengthening our project management capability so that we are able to clearly monitor our workflow so that we can plan better.


- Some of the projects planned to be finalised in Quarter1 we finalised in Quarter4.

The signing of distribution agreements is in the process of being decentralized to Provincial CD’s .

Performance indicator Reason for Variance Mitigating PlansNumber of phased projects approved

- Some of the phased projects planned for approval in Quarter1 we approved in Quarter4

- However, additional submissions for 9 phased projects were received before 30 June 2014, which still had to go through the quality assurance process and could therefore not be routed for approval before the end of quarter- These submissions was earmarked for QCC dated 16 July 2015, which didn’t took place.

We are strengthening our project management capability so that we are able to clearly monitor our workflow so that we can plan better.


The Quarter 1 target was not achieved due to the following reasons:

- The National Research Unit (NRU) received approximately 366 reports for 519 claims- Due to the bulk of the research reports being received between 29 and 30 June 2015, the vetting process could not be completed and the reports could not be recommended for approval before 30 June 2015

The following interventions are planned:

- Complete the vetting process of the research reports received between 29 and 30 June 2015

- The NRU to conduct regular regional visits to offices dealing with complex claims (KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape). Increase capacity in research unit.

Performance indicator Reason for Variance Mitigating Plans

- Consequently only 198 claims were vetted and approved- Remaining 321 claims are still in the process en-route for approval-Regional offices like KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape have complex rural claims were a large number of properties have to researched and these claims have to be outsourced

- The appointment of service provider to conduct research on complex claims have been centralised at the National Office and appointment process to be completed by 31 August 2015

Number of lodgement offices operational

4x4 all terrain vehicles in final testing before deployment. Also Registration of vehicles in the name of the Department has not been finalised.

Registration process and testing has been finalised in July 2015 and 4x4 all-terrain offices is being rolled out in provinces that require these vehicles as part of the national plan.
