INTRODUCTION
With the independence of Zimbabwe the new government implemented land reform in order to relieve the increasing population pressure on the country. I will discuss the perquisites of land reform by van de Wall and compare that to the land reform tenure of Zimbabwe. Discussing whether or not van de Wall’s perquisites are applicable to Zimbabwe’s land reform.
PERQUISITES FOR LAND TENURE REFORM BY VAN DE WALL:
“Land-tenure reforms present a major challenge to policymakers, such as reducing rural poverty while avoiding socially unacceptable inequalities in land ownership and living standards” (Ravaillon and van de Walle 2008). Van de Wall puts forward certain requirements in order for successful land reform.
The rural population must actively take part in the land reform tenure as the programme is aimed at boosting the previous disadvantaged population of the country. In order to do so Steward, du Plessis, Mazibuko and Moloi (2010:82) state: “one needs qualified and skill staff as land reform actions imply high costs in surveying, registration, resettlement and so forth”
