May 2005 Resource Conservation Land Restitution and Protected Area Conservation in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa: Challenges to Implementation Committee Chair: Wayne A. Freimund (, Jf! 1 " This study explores the challenges to implementation of land restitution in protected areas in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Today, South Africa’s land restitution program brings together a colonial and apartheid history of land dispossession and protected area designation with present day conservation efforts. Through the land restitution program, protected areas, or portions of these areas, may be claimed by people previously dispossessed of the land. In KwaZulu-Natal, land restitution has given claimants ownership, albeit under prescribed conditions, to protected area land. The redress of land dispossession through the restoration of land ownership to claimants of areas that are now protected means actors attempt land reform and conservation efforts on the same land. This process has proved challenging as evidenced by slow implementation. In KwaZulu-Natal province, many protected areas have pending or settled land claims. Recent settlement agreements stipulate giving claimant groups ownership of the land through a title deed and require the land continue to be managed as a protected area in cooperation with a designated government conservation agency. This type of settlement agreement means claimants and conservation agencies face significant changes to their current practices. Protected area land claims have the potential to transform ownership patterns of conservation land and give land claimants a substantive role in conservation and tourism. However, to achieve this land ownership transformation and create a substantive role for land claimants, challenges to implementation must be understood and addressed. This study explored challenges to protected area land restitution implementation through informal conversations and observations and interviews and meetings with stakeholders. The primary data source was in-depth interviews with thirty-nine people representing the four major stakeholders as defined by those most actively participating in the implementation process. The study results are presented in two themes, 1) a poor understanding of claimant protected area ownership, and 2) difficulty defining tangible settlement outcomes and benefits, and describe some of the challenges to protected area land restitution. These themes demonstrate that although KwaZulu-Natal’s settlement model of returning protected area land ownership has potential, it is unlikely to work every situation and in some cases alternative types of settlement may be appropriate. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many individuals and organizations helped me complete this research. I am tremendously grateful to these people for their time, support, and countless invaluable insights. My appreciation and special thanks go first and foremost to the study participants who shared with me their reflections, ideas, and wisdom. Thank you to the Mbila, Mabaso, and Bhangazi Trusts; the Regional Land Claims Commission, KwaZulu-Natal; Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife; and the Greater St. Lucia Wetlands Park Authority for generously sharing their time and knowledge and for inviting me to join relevant meetings. In particular I would like to thank Sibusiso Bukhosini, Walter Silaule, and KP Mkize. I would also like to thank the participants on behalf of people and organizations who may learn from their hard work and experience in protected area land claims. I would like to thank my thesis committee: Dr. Wayne Freimund, Dr. Jill Belsky, and Dr. Jeff Bookwalter. Their patience, support, and feedback were invaluable throughout this project. Thank you to my chair, Wayne Freimund, for continually pushing me to be both practical and inspired and offering endless encouragement. Much appreciation and thanks to the Center for Environment and Development at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and to all the staff for welcoming and assisting me. I am particularly indebted to Charles Breen, Rob Fincham, Nhlanhla Sihlophe, Muthoni Ngotho, and Nyambe Nyambe. A special thanks goes to my friend, mentor, and colleague, Laurie Yung, for her endless understanding, support, and encouragement. I am also grateful to the faculty and graduate students of the Department of Society and Conservation for sharing ideas, challenging me, and inspiring me through their thoughtfulness and hard work; and to the people who offered insight, editing, and support throughout the project, in particular, Leana Schelvan and Chad Dear. And I am forever thankful to my family for their excitement about this project and solid support throughout and the invaluable friends who encouraged and inspired me to complete this project while also enjoying life.

  • Kosi Forest Lodge Directions
    Updated: April 2011 Directions to Kosi Forest Lodge Recommended route from Johannesburg : (8 hours) Head to Piet Retief on the N2, pass through Pongola and proceed south towards Hluhluwe (approximately 113km from Pongola). Turn left into the town of Hluhluwe (approx. 4kms) and follow the instructions below " Recommended route from Durban ". *** Alternate Route from Johannesburg : Head to Piet Retief and Pongola on the N2 and proceed south towards Mkuze. Approximately 45km from Pongola and 10km before Mkuze turn left towards Jozini. On leaving Jozini take a left turn towards the “Coastal Forest Reserve and KwaNgwanase” (signposted), ensuring that you are proceeding over the Pongola dam wall. After 45km at a T-junction turn right towards “KwaNgwanase”. Proceed for another 47 km past Tembe Elephant Park towards the town of Manguzi (KwaNgwanase). Please note that this route often has cattle wandering across it, some of the signs have fallen down and so caution and slower driving speeds are necessary. Also particularly around the area of Tembe Elephant Park, the road has quite a few large potholes which have caused damage to some cars. Although this route may appear shorter in distance, it takes almost as much time as the Hluhluwe Recommended Route above, but without all the hazards!
