South African Land Reform

South African land reform aims to address historical land inequalities by redistributing land from historically privileged groups to those who were marginalized under apartheid. The goal is to promote more equitable land ownership, boost agricultural productivity, and support economic development. The process includes land restitution (returning land to those dispossessed), redistribution (selling or reallocating land), and tenure reform (improving land rights for poor and black farmers). These efforts seek to balance justice, economic stability, and social cohesion, while navigating complex legal, economic, and social challenges to ensure fair and sustainable land use for all citizens.
