Land owners whose leases are not renewed will be compensated for improvements made on the property if a new Bill becomes law.
The Land Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2015 says that infrastructural developments like dams and reservoirs; buildings, commercial trees and shrubs and fences will be paid for at market rates when properties revert to government.
