Mr Nkwinti said on Friday he believed that when policy makers set the original target, they had assumed that beneficiaries of restitution would choose to return to the land. But of 76,000 beneficiaries, 71,000 had chosen financial compensation instead.

The issue here is that policy makers made an assumption which was wrong. In fact it was 7% right because 93% of the beneficiaries took the money. We are seeing a similar being played out by the DTI with their new codes. They have ASSUMED that things aren't working but haven't actually found out whether there is any fact to back up this assumption. Rob Davies was completely taken by surprise when there was a complete uproar about the proposed SED code. If he had just asked three charities as to how they receive their funds he would have conducted more research on that element than he did on all the other codes .
