Rural Development in Post-Apartheid South Africa:
Strategies, Challenges, and the Way Forward
1. Introduction
Since 1994, South Africa has undergone a transformative
journey to address the economic, social, and political
injustices created by colonial rule and apartheid. The
country was deeply scarred by systemic racial
segregation, particularly in rural areas, where black
South Africans were deliberately marginalised through
land dispossession, economic exclusion, and
underdevelopment. As a result, rural development has
been a fundamental pillar in the post-apartheid
government's efforts to create a more equitable society.
