The research was undertaken to investigate the impact of the Tshivhase Tea Estate on the
space economy of Venda, the people and area ofMapate, and Duthuni, among whom the Tea
Estate is established. The approach is based on principles. Principles of development theory
are combined with appropriate spatial models. The development reality of Venda, together
with many other development projects are analysed. Does the tea estate address the rural
poverty problem? Findings are presented from a case study of Tshivhase and this proved the
lack of growth and development impulses to alleviate the poverty of the rural people among
whom it is located.
Development is considered in terms of its possible simultaneous diffusion of economic activity
and modernisation in all four dimensions of the spatial system : political, socio-cultural,
economic and physical. / Department of Geography / M.A. (Geography)
