The allottee's ability to retain access to such land depends on his continued recognition of this political relationship to the chief.
As we have seen above, once that land has been allocated the allottee's rights over it cannot be revoked except under certain circumstances.
An allottee does not have rights of ownership over the land.
The land has been distributed, and possession taken by or on behalf of the allottees, and the question of the distribution cannot be reopened.
Both sets of allottees have been placed in occupation of the parcels of land allotted to them.
The shares may very well be split holdings, allottee holdings or nominee holdings and so would only be remunerated at the rate of one person.
According to the latest figures available, approximately 400 farms are actually being worked, and in most cases occupied by the original allottees.
There are very few of our people who are not allottees.
