|
The purpose of this study is to shed light on people's aspirations and expectations in respect of redistributive land reform, as well as their general, less personal attitudes as to what land reform means for South Africa. It thus seeks to inform the debate about land reform and land reform policy in a particular way, e.g. Not assessing delivery performance relative to targets, nor assessing i...

The RDP boldly asserted that a national land-reform programme would be the central driving force behind rural development. Over a decade later, this doesn?t appear to be true. Were the RDP?s expectations fundamentally ill-founded, or has land reform failed to realise its potential, asks Michael Aliber.

The aim of this project was to design a survey methodology to measure the realisation of democracy and human rights in the context of South Africa's land reform process. The project sought to design, test, evaluate, and refine this methodology, bearing in mind the diverse nature of the South African land question, the variety of different stakeholders in the land question, and the particular ne...

This chapter seeks to re-examine the potential of agriculture to contribute to job creation and poverty reduction in South Africa. It does so mainly through a simple scenario-analysis that seeks to illustrate that is conceivable, complemented by commentary as to what is feasible and likely.

South Africa has ambitious intentions regarding its land reform policy. Following the formal end of apartheid, the policy was intended to redress the racial imbalance in landholding, develop the agricultural sector, and improve the livelihoods of the poor. These far reaching objectives were derived from an understanding that land reform has the potential to make a direct impact on poverty throu...

This paper focuses on the issue of governance and democracy in the rural areas of South Africa, particularly the communal areas of KwaZulu Natal, through the lens of land tenure reform, which is argued to be a crucial ingredient of the democratisation and development of the most underdeveloped regions of the country. The paper sets out to explore the relationship between local government and t...

The South African neo-liberal model of development has overall produced greater social differentiation since the end of apartheid in 1994. This is rooted in the soil of an essentially unchanged land system. Land reform is oriented towards 'deracialising' the commercial farming sector through market-based redistribution, creating a modest opening for black farmers. The overwhelming result has be...

|
Zimbabwe's current restructuring of land and resource ownership has not only been violent and coercive, but also disorganised and divisive. In its call for radical land redistribution, the state has increasingly resorted to authoritarian nationalism, invoking identity politics. This has resulted in new conceptions about rights and power - conceptions that basically uphold racial and ethnic poli...

The extent to which indigenous people were dispossessed of their land by whites in South Africa under colonial rule and apartheid has no parallels on the African continent.
Since the advent of democracy in 1994, issues at the heart of the land question in South Africa are how to reverse this phenomenon and how a large-scale redistribution of land can contribute to the transformation of the e...

In this original and compelling study, Lungisile Ntsebeza carefully detai...
