Research Services for Family Claims in Eastern Cape

The Department of Rural Development & Land Reform seeks a qualified service provider to undertake thorough research on six specific family claims: Mkhize, Jonas, Saker, Taljaard, Velani/Ndleleni, and Groepe. These claims are situated within the Sarah Baartman District and the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality in the Eastern Cape Province. The research will involve collecting historical data, family documentation, and any relevant evidence to substantiate the claims, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of each family's situation.

The selected service provider will be responsible for engaging with the families involved, conducting interviews, and compiling detailed reports that reflect the findings of the research. This information will be crucial for the Department to make informed decisions regarding land restitution and reform efforts in the region. The tender emphasizes the need for meticulous attention to detail, cultural sensitivity, and adherence to ethical research practices, as the outcomes will significantly impact the families involved and the broader community.

By participating in this tender, businesses will contribute to meaningful land reform initiatives while also gaining valuable experience in conducting sensitive and impactful research. The project duration is expected to span from the appointment date until the completion of the research and submission of reports, with a closing date for submissions set for December 9, 2025.
