URBAN LAND TENURE AND PUBLIC POLICY CHALLENGES: THE CASE OF ACCESS, OWNERSHIP AND USE IN PHOKENG. KADUNGURE IVAN Dissertation submitted to the School of Governance, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management in Public Policy Supervisor: Prof. Pundy Pillay 4TH September 2015 DECLARATION I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is being submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management in Public Policy at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university. Ivan Kadungure ……day of September 2015 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to acknowledge the role played by various people in this project. This includes the leadership of the Wits School of Governance that motivated to Council that I be permitted to complete my studies. The panel for my proposal led by my supervisor, Prof Pundy Pillay challenged me to use Royal Bafokeng Nation (RBN) as a case study, and despite time and financial limitations I wondered why not. Phokeng, a village in traditional Royal Bafokeng Nation was ideal to undertake the research because very soon it might become a secondary town of Rustenburg. I wish to acknowledge the role played by my supervisor in encouraging me to get the research completed. I am very grateful and indebted to Professor Pundy Pillay for all the contributions he has made for the successful completion of the research. ii DEDICATION I dedicate the research to my extended family who tolerated the mess I kept in the house and my absence from family activities, especially my wife Tsakane.
