  • Just and Equitable Compensation for Expropriation of Motlhotlo Customary Lands
    JUST AND EQUITABLE COMPENSATION FOR EXPROPRIATION OF MOTLHOTLO CUSTOMARY LANDS ILC’S DATABASE OF GOOD PRACTICES LEARN, SHARE AND BE INSPIRED! Picture: ©ILC/ Country: South Africa Principal Organisation: Nkuzi Platinumbelt ABSTRACT Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), a platinum offer, demanding more just and equitable mining company, targeted the Motlhotlo compensation. As a result of the community’s community’s land for the expansion of mining resistance efforts, Amplats renegotiated the operations in Mokopane, South Africa. However, resettlement deal. They relocated the remaining Amplats did not seek the community’s free, families to better settlement areas with modern prior and informed consent in the mining three-bedroom houses, two communal farms licence application process. Amplats bypassed for crop production and livestock production, their obligation to meaningfully engage with schools and hospitals. Further, Amplats invested the Motlhotlo community by negotiating with in small local businesses supplying the mine the Department of Mineral Resources and with water, and trained locals for more technical traditional leaders only. Some families refused and stable jobs at the mine, thus securing to accept the company’s meagre compensation local livelihoods. ILC COMMITMENTS PROTECTED LAND EQUAL LAND RIGHTS FOR WOMEN RIGHTS DEFENDERS EFFECTIVE ACTIONS AGAINST LAND GRABBING However, the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) Development Act28 of 2002 (MPRDA) that grants the COMPETENCIES and mining companies often bypass the consent DMR the power to act as the custodian of mineral provision by excluding the mining-affected communities resources on behalf of all South Africans, the DMR AREAS SKILLS and merely consulting traditional leaders in the erroneously awards licences even when the community application process for mineral rights.

    Difficult roads leading to beautiful destinations? Articulating land Reform's contribution to rural livelihoods in the Limpopo Province, South Africa C. Chikozhoa, ∗ [email protected] G. Makombeb K. Milondzoc aAfrica Institute of South Africa-HSRC, Pretoria, South Africa bGordon Institute of Business Science, University of Pretoria, South Africa cTurfloop Graduate School of Leadership, MDEV Program, University of Limpopo, South Africa ∗Corresponding author. Africa Institute of South Africa-HSRC, Pretoria, South Africa. Abstract A key objective of the land reforms in South Africa was for the process to lead to the emergence of a cohort of black small-scale commercial farmers who would realize substantive agricultural production levels through irrigation and actively contribute to the local and national agricultural value chains. The available evidence suggests that this objective has been difficult to attain and the contribution of land reform to livelihoods of the beneficiaries has been negligible in the Limpopo province. This study deployed qualitative research methodologies to gather both secondary and empirical data that enabled analysis of the extent to which the land reform program has contributed to the livelihoods of small-scale emerging farmers in the surroundings of Bela-Bela Municipal Area, Limpopo Province. The study found out that financial resources are a big challenge, with most of the farmers being unable to raise the capital needed to invest in the farming enterprise. In addition, most of the ‘emerging farmers’ do not have the know-how and experience needed to run a commercial farm. Overall, the study enabled us to conclude that the land reform projects have not only had limited impact on the livelihoods of the majority of the beneficiaries, instead, the reforms have left the country-side facing a real risk of increasing food insecurity.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed development site lies east of the town of Modimolle, in a very flat bushveld area, which forms part of the Springbok flats. The vegetation is dense Bushveld and grassland. The site was visited and inspected on foot and by vehicle. Visibility was bad because of the dense vegetation. No important Cultural Heritage Resources or graves were found on the inspected development site. There is no objection to the proposed development from a Cultural Heritage Resources point of view. If during construction any cultural heritage resources or graves are unearthed, all work has to be stopped until the site has been inspected and mitigated by a cultural heritage practitioner.
