Demarcation of leased land

occupier in the normal course of his employment, to cultivate any portion of such property unless such portion has
been clearly demarcated on the ground:
Provided that no demarcation in terms of this subsection shall be necessary where a portion of any property
has been allocated to an employee of the owner or occupier of such property for his own use unless the appropriate Minister, by notice in writing to such owner or occupier, requires such portion to be demarcated.
(2) All cairns, pegs or other similar objects used in the demarcation shall be of a permanent nature and shall
be clearly identified by means of a number or name imprinted thereon or affixed thereto.
(3) The owner or occupier of any property who has permitted any other person to cultivate any portion of
such property, which is required to be demarcated in terms of subsection (1), shall keep a register of such permits
to cultivate, which register shall show the name of the permit holder and the identification and area of the portion
of the property permitted to be cultivated.
(4) The owner or occupier of any property who permits the grazing of stock belonging to another person on
such property shall keep a register of such permits granted showing the names of the permit holders and the

demand for inspection by any person mentioned in section thirteen.
