The Land Reform Programme

The Land Reform Programme in its entirety, is characterised by being chaotic and lack of orderliness, being permeated by violence and self-serving interests through self-allocation of land by the well-to-do (Alexander and McGregor, 2005). Evidence derived from the press and selected case studies obscures the actual patterns and the stated outcomes. This is because overarching statements of failure are proclaimed about the land reform, but this have been based on short-term studies and derived largely from a partisan and agenda-setting press (both for and against the land reform programme). In fact, on the ground there was generally a certain level of orderliness amid the mayhem. Without condoning the violent aspects of action taken within the programme, there is a need to locate the disorderliness in terms of the context that influenced it, because this will need to be corrected. The following are keys to unlocking the factors at play: [unique_solution]The Land Reform Programme in its entirety, is characterised by being chaotic and lack of orderliness, being permeated by violence and self-serving interests through self-allocation of land by the well-to-do (Alexander and McGregor, 2005).
