Questioning the Prospect of Women's Land Rights for Rural-Based Farmers in South Africa at KwaDlangezwa Area

Women's land rights are crucial for promoting democracy, peace, justice, sustainable development, and security, contributing to gender equality, and most importantly, for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and human rights. The phrase "women's land rights" needs to be interpreted broadly and in relation to the international human rights framework. These rights include the freedom for women to possess, utilise, access, manage, transfer, inherit, and make other choices regarding land and related resources. This article evaluates the persisting hindrances to fair redistribution of land, particularly for women, by examining traditional African customs and cultural values and pursuing land sustainability, maintenance, and cultivation. This study used desktop research, and adopted a qualitative research approach for the evaluation of the challenges faced by women in land ownership in South Africa. For the verification and reliable of the findings, the study used discourse analysis.
