44. 8. Ilima /Letsema Ilima / Letsema means working together to liberate ourselves from the oppression of poverty, working together to produce food, to build a house and thus provide shelter for the family. Working together to gather firewood for energy, working together to discipline and guide our children as they grow. Working together to defend our freedom and to build this nation. The ethos of Ilima / Letsema emanate from the fact that a great deal of land that has been handed over to communities and individuals, land in tribal hands and land that has been under cultivation for decades, is now lying fallow or under-utilised. This campaign, with momentum from Operation Gijima (Operation Accelerated Production), serves to encourage our people to use these lands productively.

45. 8. Ilima /Letsema This campaign centres around the planting season and seeks to promote the spirit of people working together to achieve a number of objectives. The National Youth Service has been identified as a strategic partner in matters pertaining to youth development in this regard. Drivers for Ilima / Letsema are: • MAFISA • CASP • Marketing • Mechanisation • AgriBEE • IFSNP • Cooperative Development • Land Care

46. 9. ASGISA Furthermore, the strategy seeks to continue with the process of realising the following ASGISA objectives: • AgriBEE • Rehabilitating irrigation systems • Restocking of livestock to realise project Dipudi • Land use and land management • Agriculture and Agro-processing • Mechanisation of the sector and the contribution to Ilima/Letsema • Contribution towards NEPAD and the WTO Doha negotiations • Biofuels Strategy • Improving access to micro-finance

47. 7. Conclusion This strategy takes into consideration major challenges facing this department in the year ahead. We are convinced that organizational performance, the policies we have, as well as the strategic programme in place will result in a fruitful year.
