\nThe Department of Environmental Affairs has allocated more than R15 million to a land rehabilitation project in Nquthu, KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

Nquthu land rehabilitation<\/h3>\n

The project is aimed at rehabilitating the land through the sloping of dongas, construction of gabions, planting of vetiver grass and planting of 1 000 indigenous trees in the area.<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs Barbara Thomson visited the land rehabilitation project on Tuesday as part of the 2015 World Day to Combat Desertification commemorations.<\/p>\n

17 June was proclaimed World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought by the United Nations in 1994 and has been marked worldwide annually since 1995.<\/p>\n

Celebrations for the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought could not take place in South Africa on 17 June due to unforeseen circumstances.<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister Thomson said government was spending millions in \u201cworking for\u201d Environmental Programmes to clear invasive species, restore and care for our degraded land and ecosystems.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us act together on a global scale to make SLM (Sustainable Land Management) to be part of the agenda and to enable the most vulnerable communities to withstand the worst Desertification, Land Degradation & Drought related stresses that may happen,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Nquthu land rehabilitation project, which is funded through the Department of Environmental Affairs Working for Land Programme employs a total of 192 people who come from the nine surrounding villages. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
