Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This thesis investigates socio-spatial trajectories of class formation and processes of
accumulation from below and above on redistributed farmland, the ‘New Qwaqwa
Farms’ in the Eastern Free State province of South Africa, from the mid-1980s to
2016. Class formation trajectories of the studied land beneficiaries are traced across
localised historical geographies and political contexts, from apartheid to the current
democratic dispensation, that is, from the land beneficiaries’ recent ancestral history
as labour tenants on white-owned farmland, and subsequent systematic expulsions
from farmland, to their Bantustan labour reserve resuscitations as mainly nonagricultural
petty commodity producers, and later targeting for land reform, as one
measure of redistribution.
