The Land Question in South Africa by Dr Motsoko Pheko

On Thursday, 22 November 2018 the Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute (TMALI) hosted a public dialogue themed the Land Question; lessons, opportunities & challenges which was delivered Dr Motsoko Pheko. Dr Pheko is a historian, political scientists, lawyer, theologian, writer, Publisher and researcher. He is a former member of the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa. The struggle for independence in South Africa was triggered and shaped around the reversing unjust, inhuman dispossession and alienation of Africans from the means of production. For Dr Motsoko Pheko, “South African land was never returned to its African owners”, in spite of the initial expropriation in 1913 having been in “violation of the principles of international law regarding legal title”. Section 25 (7) ignored nemo dat quad habet and as such created an injustice and an unfairness now being protected under the guise of the rule of law. To the extent that section 25 remains in place, colonial injustice and the subjugation of Africans can be guaranteed to persist, while poverty, inequality and employment will continue to undermine accumulation among Africans. Dr Pheko was joined by Professor Mogobe Ramose as a discussant, he is currently a Research Professor at the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University and has also written extensively in the land question.
