(1) If the executive officer approves an application for the entry of a farm unit with a view to participation in this scheme, he shall notify the applicant concerned thereof in writing: Provided that an application shall not be thus approved unless a farm plan for the farm concerned will be provided to the applicant concerned together with such notice.

 

(2) A farm unit shall be deemed to have been entered for participation in this scheme if an application by the current owner of the farm unit for the payment of subsidies in terms of section 6 of the Soil Conservation Act, 1969 (Act 76 0f 1969), in connection with the construction of soil conservation works thereon was approved in terms of the said Act prior to the date of commencement of this scheme and such approval is still in force.

(a) the owner of the farm unit concerned—
(i) has notified the executive officer in writing of his intention to withdraw the farm unit from participation in this scheme; and
(ii) has repaid to the executive officer the subsidies, if any, that were paid to him in terms of this scheme or in terms of section 6 of the Soil Conservation Act, 1969 (Act 76 of 1969), in respect of the construction of soil conservation works on the farm unit, or such portion of those subsidies as the executive officer may determine; or
(b) the person to whom a notice in terms of subsection (1) or an approval referred to in subsection (2) was issued, is no longer the owner of the farm unit concerned.
