Dear Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Affairs, I'm Ruben Klassen a founding member of the Oppermansgronde Communal Property Association.

Founding members and I are now for more than 14 years excluded from decision-making on Oppermansgronde because of the Oppermansgronde Communal Property Association Committee who doesn't even allow us to enter a General Meeting. This resulted in illegal evictions, poverty, selling of communal land on Rorichshoop (456HA irrigation land sold to Lindsal Boerdery). We currently do not know if the Minister was informed or who gave the OCPA Committee that authority.

We need your help in this situation as Rural Development and Land Reform has forgotten us on Oppermansgronde.

The Oppermansgronde Communal Property Association must urgently be placed under administration! We beg you as we sink away in poverty.

PLEASE PLACE THIS CPA UNDER ADMINISTRATION AS THE COMMUNITY HAD NOW ENOUGH OF THIS OPPRESSION.

Kind regards
Ruben Klassen
