Thesis (M.Dev.) -- University of Limpopo, 2013 / The purpose of this study was to evaluate post-settlement support given to
beneficiaries of land restitution on selected farms in Mpumalanga Province.
The study used qualitative and quantitative research methods. Data collection
was done using focus group discussions and semi-structured questionnaires.
Three groups of respondents participated in the study: the beneficiaries
(n=193), government officials (n=13) and private sector [NGOs] (n=5). The
study highlighted the inadequacy of support provided to beneficiaries. Support
was inadequate in terms of infrastructure, provision of training services and
improving access to markets. The findings revealed that there is poor
participation by the youth and educated people in the projects. The study also
found that strategic partners did not significantly contribute towards viability of
projects, primarily, because of conflicting interests between the two. The study
recommends that the government, with the private sector, should make enough
resources available and attract the youth and educated people to participate in
the projects.
