Some 750 South African families who were descendants of people pushed out of their land on a natural reserve during apartheid will be handed over $5 million in compensation, President Jacob Zuma said Saturday. The government has decided to compensate the families rather than return their land because Kruger is now a major natural reserve. Since the end of apartheid rule in 1994, 3.3 million hectares (8.2 million acres) of land have been restituted to 1.9 million people, Nomfundo Ntloko-Gobodo, an official at the agriculture ministry, told Agence France-Presse.
