Why is the Department not giving those guarantees to the smallholders to improve things? Every time a group such as the IFA comes here to discuss this matter, nearly to a man and to a woman they tell us about the lack of clear communication between the sector and the Department. What is the blockage? Why is it happening on a regular basis? Why is it coming up? Nearly every second meeting at this stage is about forestry. It is just continuous.
