programmes » Land Reform
The Land Reform programme directly addresses the consequences of land dispossessions of the apartheid era. Its core focus is to restore just ownership, build citizenship and promote fair access to the factors of economic production, so that rural people may realize their rightful assets.
Land Reform is TRALSO’s core programme that has been running since 1992 and comprises Land Restitution, Land Tenure and Land Redistribution.
The overall objectives of these projects are:
- Facilitation of land claims which were lodged by communities (in terms of the Restitution of Land Rights Act 22 of 1994) through the formation of legal community entities such as Land Trusts, Community Property Associations and Land Claim Clusters
- Building awareness and facilitating information dissemination on land rights, polices and processes
- Capacity building, community mobilisation and research
- The mobilization of rural communities to engage in the process of finding appropriate and alternative land tenure systems.
Current Projects being undertaken by the Land Reform Programme
- Mkhonde, Sipaqeni and Mbangweni claimant Verification Project commissioned by the Regional Land Claims Commission (RLCC). This project involves research on the original dispossessed persons, claimants verification, collecting of relevant information and development of files and reports
- Information dissemination on land rights, polices and processes through community workshops
- Capacity building for the community with Leadership Training and Conflict Resolution
- Facilitating the active participation of communities in land settlement and development plans and the implementation thereof
- Attending to land inquiries, referring land cases and mediating in the land dispute resolution
- Facilitating the active engagement of rural communities in the formulation and implementation of land tenure rights options under the Communal Land Rights Act
- Facilitating the implementation of the government LRAD programme by assisting communities to buy farms for purposes of agricultural production and development.
