    Experiences of the land redistribution for Agricultural Department (LRAD) program in the Ngqushwa Location Municipal are of the Province of the Eastern Cape, 2006 - 2010.
    (University of Fort Hare, 2011-01) Kambi, Nqaba Albert
    It has been emphasized in the literature on South African land reform that the Larid Redistribution for Agricultural Development (LRAD) system does not benefit poor farmers. This study also argues that the LRAD system is a conceptual framework for the establishment of commercial agriculture on redistributed land that excludes agriculture at a subsistence level. Thus, the LRAD system requires subsistence farmers to upgrade themselves to commercial status immediately upon entering the system. Although the system provides. for the establishment of group projects by subsistence farmers under a communal property association (CPA) or trust, the farmers still do not amass enough agricultural resources, financial and otherwise, for competitive enterprise at commercial level.
