“If the Minister is satisfied that any part of any area comprised in any declaration under subsection (1) is no longer required as a Native Communal Reserve and that this subsection may be applied without causing injustice or oppression, he may by order signified in the Gazette declare that such part shall cease to form part of such Native Communal Reserve, and as from such date, if any, as from which such declaration is expressed to come into effect, or, if no such date is expressed, then as from the publication in the Gazette of any such order, such part shall be at the disposition of the Government as free and unencumbered  by any right, privilege or equity in respect thereof as if it has never been declared to be a Native Communal Reserve.”
