Powerful business and political interests have played a huge role behind the slow pace of urban land reform and redistribution.

This is according to the Socio-Economic Rights Institute , which this week released two revised papers on urban land reform and redistribution. –

According to Seri’s report on redistribution, there was “urban silence” on SA’s land reform because of the “powerful interests vested in the urban land question due primarily to the investment value of urban land”. “There are political interests, too, which speak to patronage and, as recent news reports attest, corrupt practices in the allocation of farms intended to facilitate land reform,” the report said.

The human rights advocacy group called for alternative legal mechanisms for land tenure to be extended, even to those who had no title deeds.
