The introduction of an electronic cadastral system to record and enable online access to mining data is imminent, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe emphasised in an interview with Radio 702 host Clement Manyathela on Thursday. Mantashe disclosed to Manyathela that agreement had been reached with the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) for the introduction of a cadastral system – a set of records and maps that describe the ownership, boundaries, value, and use of land parcels within a jurisdiction.
