    An investigation into farming enterprises under the land redistribution program in the Southern Cape
    (University of Western Cape, 2004) Okada, Masanori; Labiff, Edward; Catting, David
    In 1994, the first democratically elected South African government promised to redistribute 30 % of white-owned farmland to the formerly disadvantaged people in order to rectify the racially-based unequal distribution of land and to improve their socioeconomic conditions. The ANC-led government opted to promote agriculture for achieving the latter aim since agriculture is generally seen to have a strong potential for poverty alleviation and economic development in the under-resourced areas.
