DEPT OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

AND

LAND REFORM

DEALING WITH LAND IN RURAL SA:

NEW APPROACHES AND

CHALLENGES

DR MOSHE SWARTZ

DEPUTY DIRECTOR-GENERAL

19 APRIL 2011

ANNUAL WORLD BANK CONFERENCE

BACKGROUND

SA has total land mass of 122.1m hectares

Total population of about 50m

Rural areas account for 100m hectares= 82% of total land

mass

Rural areas are in 2072 wards out of a total of 3933 in the

whole country

2

BACKGROUND

Land Dispossession in 1913

Majority of African people forcefully removed to outskirts of the

country

Overcrowding in homelands resulting in a decay of the social

fabric and death of cultural progress

Depletion of natural resources (Land degradation, overgrazing,

cultivation of marginal lands, overexploitation of trees and

woodlands, and overfishing)

Widespread underdevelopment and poverty

1994, Democratic Government

Apartheid problems: Stagnant economic growth, declining per

capital income, spiraling debt problem, increasing

unemployment

MuyexeFor Rural Women, The Struggle Continues

POST APARTHEID LAND REFORM RESPONSES

Redistribution

Restitution

Tenure reform

Weaknesses in the response:

• 7.4m hectares were distributed BUT,

• Ignored local issues, e.g the role of traditional authorities in land

reform

• Did not address key issue of the potential of the rural economy

in areas left underdeveloped by apartheid

• Adopted contradictory stances (welfarism vs an approach

based on productivity, economic efficiency and cost recovery) 5

WHAT WILL BE DONE DIFFERENTLY: OUTPUT 1

– Strategic Land Reform Interventions through the following:

– Acquisition and warehousing of strategically located land for farming that is supported by strategic partnership through mentorship, co-management and share-equity

– Selection of farmers in line with the categories of their land needs (e.g. household, medium and commercial scale)

– Recapitalisation and Development Programme to support land reform projects acquired since 1994

– Provide access to markets through integrated value chain participation

– Land acquisition and recapitalization integrated with water allocation reform

– Provide support to local organizations, producers, and co-operatives to participate in the value chain/agro-processing phases

– Mobilize labour and capital through partnerships to give effect to the above.

RECAPITALISATION AND DEVELOPMENT

PROGRAMME

To respond to the challenges of the collapsing land reform

projects and defunct irrigation schemes in the former

homelands as well as distressed farms by private individuals,

the Department has introduced a new programme called

“Recapitalisation and Development”.

The core principles of the programme are mentorship; co-

management and share equity.

The objectives are to increase production to guarantee food

security, to graduate small framers into commercial, farmers and

create employment opportunities within the agricultural sector.

To implement this programme, the Department has set-aside

25% of the baseline from the land acquisition budget - this

amounts to R900 million for the 2010/11 financial year.

– Revitalization of irrigation schemes linked to water allocation reform

– Increased productivity and access to nutritious food

– Establishment of household and institutional gardens

– Provision of support to farmers - inputs, mechanization, farming infrastructure, e.g.

silos, abattoirs, sales pens, pack-houses, agri-parks/villages, stock water dams

– Mobilize labour and capital through partnerships to give effect to the above
