Abstract
South Africa, emerging from the yoke of colonialism and imperialism embarked on an ambitious land reform programme during the 1990’s. It was anticipated that land reform would take place effectively and sustainably.
However, evidence to date revealed that land reform has been a failure and the cause thereof can be attributed to the lack of post settlement support.
The focus of the research was to find out whether post-settlement support is the reason behind successful projects and if so to highlight the necessity of post-settlement support in land reform projects.
The methodology used was through review of literature, legislations and policies on land reform and analysis of case studies.
Outcome of the research indicates an intricate relationship between land reform and post-settlement support. The transfer of land to land reform beneficiaries must go hand in hand with the effective provision of post-settlement support for projects to be success and sustainable.
