- Non-Profit
This episode explores the contentious issue of land in South Africa, and its importance as a critical resource and foundation for sustainable livelihoods, by explaining how the country’s land system works in practice. It canvasses the views of a wide range of stakeholders, from grassroots civil society organisations and activists to individuals on the left and right of the political spectrum.
It contrasts the opinions of those on the left who believe land should be returned to the black majority because of the country’s colonial past, to those on the right who believe that inequality and poverty can be addressed through employment and access to property rights.
The focus also extends to the fragmented legal framework and the role of traditional leadership that makes it difficult for people to obtain security of tenure, while also reviewing the intersection of gender, race, land rights, and corruption.
