Abstract
In the nearly three decades since the advent of democracy in South Africa, land reform has remained a critical issue. The African National Congress (ANC) introduced Land Reform Policies (LRP) in 1994, aiming to address three core aspects: restitution, reform, and redistribution. In 2017, the ANC signalled its intent to begin land distribution without compensation following the amendment of Section 25 of the South African constitution. However, progress has been slow, with only 9% of farmland transferred to date. Corruption and other factors have hindered effective land distribution. The ANC’s historical success in land dispossession between 1994 and 2004 contrasts with recent difficulties. Their focus on capital-intensive farming has limited alternative livelihood options for beneficiaries. Moving forward, addressing corruption and considering diverse approaches will be crucial to achieving equitable land distribution for Black South Africans. This paper sheds light on the complexities of land reform, emphasizing the need for a multifaceted approach that balances historical justice, economic viability, and social aspirations.
