Perhaps one of the approaches could be useful in a system called South Africa Pty (Ltd). The study will assess the impact of land restitution in South Africa since the inception of the land reform program until 2011.
Land Restitution Overview
Global Land Restitution Overview
Land Reform Status
The three land reform sub-programs are expected to contribute to the national target of transferring 30% of agricultural land to those affected by racial land dispossession by 2015. By the end of March 2004, approximately 3.5 million hectares, or 2.4%, had been transferred to land reform beneficiaries.
Land Reform Impact
The second removal should not be seen as a reversal of the previous removal, because there is no common interest between them. This research will focus on the second point by specifically focusing on the project delivery capacity of the relevant government departments within the restitution arm of the land reform programme.
Overview of practical challenges on restitution
For the majority of resettled people, the experience is one that results in significant economic and social dislocation, exacerbated by the characteristics of the environment in which resettlement takes place.”. This study hopes to find reasons to refute the statement made by Rogers and Letsoalo in their article referring to forced relocation, when they say: “The program of resettlement is thus associated with the transformation of previously stable agricultural communities into fractured communities that suffer from chronic depend on remittances from migrants. , pension payments and the meager returns of an informal rural sector.” According to the Land Claims Commission's annual report, only 2.4% of targeted land was transferred from white owners to black owners.
Amatola County Municipality, which would be the implementing agency on behalf of the department of land affairs. Understanding the concept of project success factors is defined by Wai, S. 2013) as “a course of action followed to achieve objectives” in a regular paper titled Exploring the Success Factors of Social Infrastructure Projects in Malaysia. Social Infrastructure Projects due to their contribution to the economy of a country as critical in "increasing economic productivity" Wai et al (2013) can be compared to a large extent with the Land Reform program as one of the pillars for growth of trade and investment.
They managed to structure their study into a manageable framework, which they summarize as “reducing a set of 41 project success factors to six dimensions based on the idea of the project life cycle, which is a pre-construction factor, a construction factor and a post-construction factor and three internal factors: organizational factor, information factor and change management factor. Clear and precise goals Ability to make timely decisions Ability to participate in different phases of the project.
Knowledge systems and their role
Relations between knowledge systems
Projects where indigenous knowledge provided an improved approach to natural resource management than project technologies. Projects whose success in achieving the project objectives can be linked to the deliberate incorporation of indigenous knowledge components. It is instructive to note that errors have been recorded in situations where native structures were ignored.
After going through what all these development analysts had to say about the importance of knowing what development beneficiaries already know before development agents "tell" them what they think beneficiaries need to know; and going through what key participants in land reform projects in South Africa are looking for, it is self-evident that research on impact needs to go even deeper than this study will be able to. Little of what is cited from work done elsewhere on strategies for development projects places South Africa's land reform program in the spotlight and immediately makes it a candidate for policy and strategy review.
Group dynamics and risk
Restitution progress over 10 years
In his paper Managing and evaluating projects in developing environments, Taylor (undated) specifically addresses the role of the project manager in a development context similar to the development of a return project and the nature of the challenges that are likely to arise. encountered. His paper underlines what can be seen as a justification for this study's capacity and impact claim by suggesting that the nature of the problems associated with project delivery (housing in his case) in developing settings is such that it requires the involvement of specific expertise. that goes beyond that typically associated with project management. Two other critical issues highlighted by Taylor (undated) are that development is a multi-variable process and that in the South African context it is imperative to move towards substantial institutional reform.
It is interesting to note the cross-cutting nature of development principles because his article was aimed at an audience interested in housing development, but everything he said is so relevant and applicable to the land reform scenario. The progress, or lack thereof, of South Africa's land reform has not gone unnoticed in both the private and public sectors. In June 2011, a statistical report was prepared by the Department of Agrarian Development and Land Affairs, revealing the growth in the number of resolved claims, as shown in Table 5 below.
These statistics are compiled based on information reflected in the Adjusted Refund Claims database. In order to improve the accuracy of our statistics, the Resolved Claims Database is subject to continuous internal audit.

According to the model, both explanations, external and internal, are essential parts of the story. This requires paying attention to the human side of the change challenge (Robbins & Finley (1998)). It is common for various parties to a project to have different impressions of the project goal.
Action learning was applied in the study due to its applicability to the environment and type of problem. This item has been noted as one of the most contested in the land reclamation/reform arena. There are very few of the Land Claims Commission officers in number in the field.

Reviewing the current literature on the issue from which a theoretical framework for the research question can be formed. The sample will be composed of those subjects who, in the opinion of the researcher, contain the most characteristic, representative features of the population.” This action research project will be conducted in the qualitative paradigm as it is the more appropriate paradigm of the two paradigms, which are qualitative and quantitative paradigms.
A researcher's comfort with the ontological, epistemological, axiological, rhetorical and methodological assumptions of the qualitative paradigm. According to the researcher, these emphasize the clarity of the paradigm again and will serve as part of the guidelines for the rest of the study. The observer or researcher observes natural surroundings, but is not himself part of the situation”.
The Treasurer of the Molote Municipal Property Association acknowledges the fact that there is a general problem of project failure in the return programme. The respondent finds an inconsistency in the way the extension staff worked considering the fact that most of the villagers were illiterate. Traditionally, the community has three Kgoros in existence out of the original seven.
Very few of the members of the audience properly understood the purpose of the researcher's assignment.
Conclusions
This missing link will remain as a critical gap that needs to be filled before project management after settlement can be improved. On 29 July 2005 it made the following statement: "The time taken to process land claims in rural areas must be significantly reduced, including exploring the possibility of speeding up submissions to the Land Claims Court where processes are unnecessarily prolonged. They must also be assisted with to access finance and develop financial management capacity." African National Congresses (2005).
Even new houses built as the government's contribution are said to be only partially occupied. This leads to a conclusion that selection criteria should be part of the whole review on how to improve services in restitution delivery. This appears to reveal a serious conflict of interest as attention by project management and that of.
The study found that more attention should be paid to the project's purpose, perceptions, expectations, indigenous knowledge, worldviews, shared understanding or lack thereof. Rural economic stabilization and advancement must be viewed from the farm unit to the product groups to be transformed.
Recommendations
Countries where additional financing was provided are said to have been successful in land reform. xii). It is therefore crucial that resettlement planning in restitution projects is done on a broad basis so that life after resettlement is not worse off than before, as reported at the 2005 Land Summit and in the South African media in 2005 .general. A more holistic planning programme, based on facts and people's needs, must be at the heart of land reform.
It always attracts stakeholders whose interest in the cause is not always noble, as it was discovered by the emergence of elites in the periphery of the program in many countries. Systems thinking as a management tool has potential in development initiatives such as land restitution, as evidenced by examples cited in this study from Information Technology, Construction sector and the promising post-genocide Rwandan land reform that is holistic in its approach. 2000) highlighted the Total Systems Intervention (TSI) as one of the methodologies that management can use as a methodology in situations similar to land restitution because TSI has "reached a breakthrough" in which it will be able to be a meta-methodology to postulate for using methodologies that conform to different paradigms in the same intervention on the same problem situation”.
