Zondi Land Reform Project - URBAN-ECON is currently finalising the planning phases of this 500 beneficiary land redistribution project. Ennersdale is a new generation supply side land reform project involving the incorporation of two profitable diaries into the Amahlubi community. Kranskop Camperdown Land Reform Corridor: The land reform issues related to the Kranskop/Camperdown corridor area was investigated by URBAN-ECON on behalf of the Department. Labuschagneskraal: URBAN-ECON was responsible for assisting this community of 88 households to plan the settlement and farm. Labuschagneskraal is adjacent to Colenso / Nkanyezi, KwaZulu-Natal. Roosboom (KwaZulu-Natal): URBAN-ECON undertook the planning for this
land restitution project near Ladysmith involving more than 500 households.
In terms of this project the validity of the claims had to be investigated
and related to the historical and current land ownership. The complexity
of the land claims and the validation thereof delayed this particular
project for over 6 months. Othaka Mdlalose Tribal Authority (KwaZulu-Natal): URBAN-ECON together
with Korsman and Van Wyk investigated the feasibility of buying the Farm
Driekwart for low density residential development in terms of Act 126.
The farm is located near Vryheid. Southern Cape Land Reform Pilot Programme - URBAN-ECON was one of the core consultants considering the socio-economic aspects and economic base of various settlements to formulate a future settlement strategy. Marabastad - Kroonstad: URBAN-ECON is the main consultant to undertake the necessary planning and development facilitation for the community as part of a land claims project. Brakfontein: Brakfontein is an ex-mining village in a rural area, to
which the delivery of basic services was discontinued after the mining
company had retrenched the workers. The investigation into settlement
options for the Brakfontein village was commissioned by both the social
responsibility arm of the mine's parent company and the Department of
Land Affairs. The former client required an investigation into the viability
of the community at the site as compared to other possible locations.
The latter required an investigation for the purposes of land redistribution
in terms of the Department's land reform policy. The project involved
a participatory process involving the community in various options for
attaining local self-reliance.
