Question 1
1.1 Briefly indicate what category of land reform is relevant in the following
examples:
1.1.1 Mr Des Criminated claims monetary compensation because he was
dispossessed of land in terms of the Group Areas Act 36 of 1966. (2)
Restitution
Explanation:
The relevant category of land reform in this example is "Restitution." Mr. Des
Criminated is seeking monetary compensation for the land he was dispossessed of
due to the Group Areas Act 36 of 1966. The Group Areas Act was a law during the
apartheid era in South Africa that designated specific areas for certain racial
groups, leading to forced removals and dispossession of land from non-white
communities. Restitution aims to rectify historical injustices by providing
compensation or returning land to those who lost it due to discriminatory laws or
practices.
1.1.2 Mr City Slicker applies for an LRAD grant to purchase land and
agricultural implements. (2)
Redistribution
Explanation:
The relevant category of land reform in this example is "Redistribution." Mr. City
Slicker is applying for an LRAD (Land Redistribution for Agricultural
Development) grant, which means he is seeking assistance from the government to
acquire land and agricultural implements. Redistribution involves the transfer of
land from large-scale landholders to landless or marginalized farmers, often
through government programs or subsidies, with the goal of promoting more
equitable land ownership and enhancing agricultural development.
1.1.3 Mrs Mary Myland, an owner of a piece of land, wants to evict Mr Donot
Wannago, who occupies her land without her consent. (2)
