Abstract
This diagnostic study examines the case of the restoration
of ten farms in KwaZulu-Natal, in the area of abaQulusi
Local Municipality and Zululand District Municipality, to the
eMpangisweni Community Trust in 2003. The restored land
is 6,025 hectares in extent.
The report outlines the community’s attempt to develop
and use the land that has been restored to it in terms of the
Restitution of Land Rights Act 22 of 1994 ( ‘Restitution Act’).
It examines the nature and content of the post-settlement
support received and draws lessons from the community’s
experience that might inform the development of a strategy
for post-settlement support provision in future.
At the outset, the report describes the location and physical
features of the restored land, the history of ownership
and dispossession and the changes in land use that took
place in the post-dispossession period. The process of the
claim lodgement, verification, negotiations and settlement
are then traced. The developments and support provided
during the post-settlement phase are then examined.
