  • Communal Land Tenure in Ebenhaeser, South Africa, 2012 – 2017
    PUTTING JUSTICE INTO PRACTICE: COMMUNAL LAND TENURE IN EBENHAESER, SOUTH AFRICA, 2012 – 2017 SYNOPSIS Following the 1994 transition from racial apartheid to democracy, South Africa’s government aimed to provide tenure security for the estimated 16 million black South Africans living in communal areas. But the lack of a clear legal framework applicable to most communal areas meant that progress was slow. In contrast, a viable legal framework did exist to guide tenure reform in smaller communal areas formerly known as “coloured reserves,” where a series of apartheid laws had settled people of mixed race. In 2009, land reform Minister Gugile Nkwiti designated one such area—Ebenhaeser, on the country’s west coast—as a rural “flagship” project. The aim was both to transfer land held in trust by the government to Ebenhaeser community members and to settle a restitution claim. Provincial officials from Nkwinti’s ministry, working with private consultants, organized a communal association to serve as landowner. They helped negotiate an agreement with white farmers to return land that had originally belonged to coloured residents. The community also developed a land administration plan that would pave the way for Ebenhaeser’s residents to become the legal owners of their communal territory. Leon Schreiber drafted this case study based on interviews conducted in the Western Cape, Gauteng, and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, in March 2017. Case published May 2017.

  • Upper Olifants River Survey
    UPPER OLIFANTS RIVER SURVEY An assessment of woody riparian and alien vegetation Sam Jack1, Greg Nicolson2 & Ian Durbach3 January 2016 1. Corresponding author. Plant Conservation Unit, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Town, Private Bag X3, Rondebosch, 7701, Cape Town. T: 021 650 2483, E: [email protected] 2. Greg Nicolson Consulting, 9 Recreation Road, Muizenberg, 7945, Cape Town 3. Centre for Statistics in Ecology, Environment, and Conservation, Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Cape Town, 7701, Cape Town 1 Introduction The perennial Olifants Rivers system arises in the high‐elevation Agter‐Witzenberg Valley north of Ceres and flows for over 250 km in a north‐westerly direction to its mouth near the West Coast town of Papendorp (Figure 1). Along its course to the sea the Olifants is supplemented by several smaller perennial rivers, such as the Thee, Noordhoek, Boontjies, Rondegat, Jan Dissels, and the non‐ perennial Sout. Its main tributary is the Doring River feeding in from the east at around 2/3rd’s of its length. Two significant dams, namely the Clanwilliam and Bulshoek Dams, are situated along the mid‐course of the river. The Olifants River is central to the presence and success of an extensive agricultural industry in the Olifants River basin. This mainly comprises citrus orchards, vineyards and potatoes, which require year round water. The river (and dams) also supplies water to several major towns along its length, namely Citrusdal, Clanwilliam, Vanrhynsdorp, Vredendal and Lutzville, and serves as an important focal point for water‐related recreational activities and tourism in the West Coast District.
