Expropriation of Land for the Use of Agriculture towards Improving Rural Economies in South Africa

This study examined the expropriation of land for the use of agriculture towards improving the rural economies in South Africa. The apartheid policies of the South African government have pushed the disadvantaged group to the former homelands, townships, and underprivileged reserves. However, rural farmers are facing the disadvantages since they have scarce chances to benefit from the willing seller, willing buyer government strategy of land reform. This study relied on secondary data with the aim of collecting appropriate and necessary information collected by others through primary research methods. The study recommended that the South African land reform policy must be strengthened in a way that can possibly ensure that the government provides resources to rural farmers who managed to access land through the process of land expropriation and redistribution.
