The MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS:

Information for 1988 on the basis as required by the hon member is not available in my Department. Population numbers are obtained by means of population censuses. The latest available information therefore, is that in respect of the 1985-Population Census. In this regard I refer the hon member to my reply to Question No 548 of 11 March 1988 which appeared under his name on the Question Paper.

B279E

The MINISTER OF EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT AID:

Yes. The required information, however, is not readily available. No special record in the form of a register is kept in this connection and the required information cannot be ascertained without performing a considerable volume of work, which is deemed unjustified.

Self-governing territories/independent Black states: land incorporated 127. Mr J J WALSH

asked the Minister of Education and Development Aid:

Whether any land made available for occupation by Blacks since 1936 has subsequently been incorporated or is to be incorporated into self-governing territories or independent Black states; if so, (a) what area of land, (b) which such territory or state was involved, and (c) when, in each case?

B280E

The MINISTER OF EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT AID:

All the required information is not readily available as no special record in the form of a register is kept in this connection. The present total extent of the independent states and self-governing territories given hereunder, includes land which was set aside for occupation by Black people in terms of the Black Land Act, 1913 (Act 27 of 1913), as well as land released in terms of the Development Trust and Land Act, 1936 (Act 18 of 1936), which belongs to individual Black people, Tribes, the South African Development Trust and the various Black Governments.
