Cadastral lease diagrams for resettlement farms in Namibia: 'digital orthophotos as an alternative to the current field surveying technique'.Louw, Frikkie J. January 2004 (has links)
The Ministry of Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation of Namibia is responsible for all land issues. The resettlement of landless farmers, of the previous disadvantaged groups, is one of the issues. The Agricultural (Commercial) Land Reform Act (Act 6 of 1995) applies to the commercial land parts of the country. Under this act the government of Namibia has the first option on the purchase of commercial farms when these are offered for sale. These purchased farms will then be used to resettle the landless farmers from the communal areas. These applicants may obtain a long-term lease over the purchased commercial farms. Long-term leases are legally required to be registered in the Deeds Office. A cadastral lease diagram is required for registration. The government, through the Ministry of Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation, has bought approximately 130 farms for resettlement purposes. On June 2003 approximately 13 of these resettlement farms were surveyed and cadastral lease diagrams prepared for registration in the Deeds Office. The author argues that many factors have affected the slow progress of the resettlement in Namibia including the time required for the preparation of the cadastral lease diagram. The current field survey techniques, Total Stations or/and GPS, are very reliable, but are slow. The use of digital orthophotos has been shown to shorten the time to prepare the cadastral lease diagrams. The Author further argues that because digital orthophotos are available at the Surveyor-General's Office means, there are no cost implications. The cost of the cadastral lease diagrams by using digital orthophotos is only a third of the cost of using the current field survey techniques. Replacing current survey techniques with digital orthophotos or including the use of digital orthophotos, as a surveying technique would require the revision of the Land Survey Act (Act 33 of 1993) and the Survey Regulations, under section 5 of the said Land Survey Act - Government Notice No. 58 of 2002. / Thesis (M.Env.Dev.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.

A comparative study of black rural women's tenure security in South Africa and NamibiaKamkuemah, Anna Ndaadhomagano 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (LLM)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / Includes bibliography / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African land question presents complex legal and social challenges. The
legal aspects of land are inextricably linked to other socio-economic aspects, such
as access to housing, healthcare, water and social security. The Constitution
provides for land reform in the property clause - section 25. This clause, while
seeking to redress the colonial land dispossessions, by means of a tripartite land
reform programme, also protects the property rights of all. The different legs of the
land reform programme are redistribution, which is aimed at enabling citizens to
access land on an equitable basis; restitution, which sets out to restore property
rights or grant equitable redress to those dispossessed of land as a result of past
racially discriminatory laws or practices and finally tenure reform. Tenure reform is
premised on transforming the landholding system of those with legally insecure
tenure as a result of past racially discriminatory laws or practices or granting
comparable redress. The primary focus of this thesis is on tenure security for black
rural women in South Africa, while using the Namibian experience with regard of the
same group as a comparison. Historically, before colonialism, landholding was governed by the customary law of
the various tribes in South Africa. This landholding system underwent extensive
change through the colonial era that ultimately led to a fragmented and
disproportionate distribution of land based on race, with insecure land rights
particularly in rural areas, where women are the majority. With the dawn of the
Constitutional era, South Africa embarked upon a social justice project, based on a
supreme Constitution, embodying human dignity, equality, non-racialism,
accountability and the rule of law. Land reform forms part of the social project and is
governed by the Constitution and influenced by both the civil and customary law.
With the South African tenure context, policy documents, legislation and case law
will be analysed. In this process the role of the stakeholders and other related
factors, for example customary practices are also considered. The analysis indicates
that case law has played a significant part in addressing women’s plight with regard
to equality, tenure reform and abolishing suppressive legislative provisions and practices. It is furthermore clear that the different categories of women are affected
differently by the overarching tenure and other related measures.
For a legal comparative study, Namibia was chosen for the following reasons: (a)
both South Africa and Namibia have a shared colonial and apartheid background; (b)
both countries have a Constitutional foundation incorporating human rights and
equality; and (c) both countries have embarked on land reform programmes.
However, contrary to the South African position, both the Namibian Constitution and
its National Land Policy are more gender-specific. Tenure reform is an on-going
process in Namibia in terms of which specific categories of women have benefitted
lately. To that end the gender inclined approach may be of specific value for the
South African situation, in general, but in particular concerning black rural women.
Consequently, particular recommendations, linked to the specific categories of
women, are finally provided for the South African position, in light of the Namibian
experience. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse grondkwessie beliggaam ingewikkelde regs- en sosiale
uitdagings. Die regsaspekte wat verband hou met grond is ook onlosmaaklik
gekoppel aan sosio-ekonomiese kwessies, soos byvoorbeeld toegang to behuising,
gesondheidsdienste, water en sosiale sekuriteit. Die Grondwet maak vir
grondhervorming in die eiendomsklousule, artikel 25, voorsiening. Die
eiendomsklousule beoog om koloniale grondontnemings (deur ‘n drie-ledige
oorhoofse grondhervormingsprogram) aan te spreek en terselfdertyd eiendomsregte
te beskerm. Die oorhoofse grondhervormingsprogram bestaan uit herverdeling,
waarmee billike toegang tot grond vir alle burgers bewerkstellig word; restitusie,
waarvolgens herstel (of ander billike vergoeding) vir persone en gemeenskappe wat
grond en regte as gevolg van rasdiskriminerende maatreëls verloor het,
bewerkstellig word en laastens grondbeheerhervorming. Grondbeheerhervorming
behels die aanpas of opgradeer van grondbeheervorme (of die betaal van billike
vergoeding) in gevalle waar regte onseker (of swak) is weens rasdiskriminerende
maatreëls en praktyke van die verlede. Die hooffokus van die tesis is op die
regsekerheid (al dan nie) van grondbeheer van swart landelike vrouens in Suid-
Afrika, met die Namibiese ervaring as regsvergelykende komponent. Histories, voordat kolonialisme ingetree het, was grondbeheer deur die tradisionele
inheemse reg van die verskillende gemeenskappe in Suid-Afrika gereguleer. Hierdie
grondbeheersisteme het grootskaalse verandering gedurende die koloniale tydperk
ondergaan. Dit het eindelik tot ‘n rasgebaseerde, gefragmenteerde sisteem gelei
waarvan die verdeling van grond disproporsioneel was en die grondbeheervorme
regsonseker, veral in die landelike gebiede waar vrouens die meerderheid van die
bevolking uitmaak.
Toe die grondwetlike era in Suid-Afrika aanbreek, is daar met ‘n sosiale
geregtigheidprojek (heropbou en ontwikkeling) begin. Hierdie benadering is op die
Grondwet gefundeer waarin menswaardigheid, gelykheid, nie-rassigheid, rekenskap
en regsorde beliggaam is. Grondhervorming vorm deel van die oorhoofse projek en word deur die Grondwet bestuur en deur beide die nasionale en die Inheems reg
beïnvloed.
Met betrekking tot die Suid-Afrikaanse grondbeheeristeem word beleidsdokumente,
wetgewing en regspraak geanaliseer. In hierdie proses word die rol van
belanghebbendes en ander verwante aspekte, soos byvoorbeeld Inheemse partyke,
ook oorweeg. Die analise dui aan dat dit veral ontwikkelings in regspraak is wat ‘n
groot bydrae gelewer het om vrouens se stryd om gelykheid en sekerheid van
grondbeheer te bevorder en wat gelei het tot die afskaffing van onderdrukkende
wetgewende maatreëls en praktyke. Dit is verder ook duidelik dat verskillende
kategorieë van vrouens verskillend deur die oorhoofse grondbeheer- en ander
verwante maatreëls, geaffekteer word. Namibië is vir die regsvergelykende analise geïdentifiseer omdat (a) beide Suid-
Afrika en Namibië ‘n koloniale en apartheidsgeskiedenis deel; (b) beide jurisdiksies
‘n grondwetlike basis het waarin menseregte en gelykheid beliggaam word; en (c)
beide lande grondhervormingsprogramme van stapel gestuur het. In teenstelling met
die Suid-Afrikaanse benadering, is die Namibiese Grondwet en die nasionale
grondbeleid egter meer geslag-spesifiek. Grondbeheerhervorming in Namibië is ‘n
aaneenlopende proses waaruit veral sekere kategorieë vrouens onlangs voordeel
getrek het. Om daardie rede mag die geslag-spesifke benadering wat in Namibië
gevolg word vir Suid-Afrika ook van waarde wees, nie net in die algemeen by
grondbeheer nie, maar spesifiek ook met betrekking tot swart landelike vroue. In die
lig van die Namibiese ervaring word daar ten slotte spesifieke aanbevelings tot die
Suid-Afrikaanse sisteem, gekoppel aan bepaalde kategorieë van vroue, gemaak.

Developing a land information systems (LIS) application for communal land dispute resolution : a case study of the Oshana Communal Land Board.Kavela, L. T. T. January 2005 (has links)
The issue of land recording and keeping in the Communal Area of Namibia has been
a severe dilemma to the Government. Various types of land disputes are on increase
and continue to be predominant despite various Acts, Policies and other related
Legislations on the Land Administration and Management passed by Namibian
Parliament. Since the establishment of the Oshana Communal Land Board, effort was
made to keep conventional records of information pertaining to land parcels in
communal areas of Oshana Region. However, spatial information about the land
ownership records is still not available in a well-designed and organised system.
The non-existence of Land Information Management (LIM) System using Land
Information Systems (LIS) application as management tool contributed to this
problem. However, Oshana Communal Land Board used manual based system with
incomplete coverage and less comprehensive information. In most cases decision
makers have to make critical decisions based on little or no information.
Therefore, LIM System and data sharing are the major features of the OSHCLB and
in order to facilitate these processes there is a need for the introduction of LIS
application. Adequate land information is crucial to sustainable development and
sound information systems are of vital importance to land management systems. This
is also been expressed in the various reports including the Operational Manual for
Communal Land Board in Namibia.
The user needs and requirements were carefully considered during the data collection
stage. The system was designed using proven methodologies, which were explained
and reasons for the choice is discussed. However, the detailed LIS applications can be
pursued by other researchers or consultants in the future to make the system complete. / Thesis (M.Env.Dev.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2005.
