South African Land Claims Court

The South African Land Claims Court is a specialized court that handles legal disputes related to land restitution and claims. Its primary role is to resolve cases where individuals or communities seek to reclaim land or seek justice for land dispossession due to apartheid-era injustices. The court ensures that land rights are fairly heard, providing a formal process to address historical land unfairness, promote land restitution, and support equitable land distribution in South Africa. It operates within the broader legal system, focused specifically on land-related issues to facilitate reconciliation and social justice.
