About the program
The insecurity, instability, and threats to the rights to land and resources held by individuals and communities in South Africa's former homelands unfortunately persists. The dire impact of past colonial and apartheid racist laws and policies has continued, and has been exacerbated by government failure and private individuals, institutions and transnational corporations' failure to respect the validity of these rights, in violation of their constitutional protections.
This Tenure Rights Symposium aims to comprehensively engage with some of the central issues that must inform any attempt by the South African government to develop a constitutionally mandated comprehensive legal framework for tenure security and reform in various contexts. Panelists will include affected community members, activists, lawyers, and researchers.
