1.1 Three Major Elements of the Land-Reform Programme in South Africa
1. Land Restitution: This element focuses on restoring land rights to individuals or
communities who were dispossessed of their land due to racially discriminatory
laws and practices after 1913. Claimants can receive their land back or receive
financial compensation.
2. Land Redistribution: The goal here is to redistribute land to improve the
livelihoods of the previously disadvantaged and to create a more equitable
distribution of land. This involves purchasing land from willing sellers and
transferring it to black South Africans, particularly those from rural areas.
3. Land Tenure Reform: This element aims to provide secure tenure rights to
people living on land they do not own, including farm workers, labor tenants, and
communities residing on communal land. The objective is to strengthen and
protect their land rights and prevent arbitrary evictions.
