The issue of land reform is more complex and challenging than the debate about Section 25 of the
constitution. Land reform in any country is a difficult task involving large numbers of people and their
aspirations, multiple challenges and considerable resources for effective implementation. South Africa
is no exception and is struggling to make progress. The state alone does not have the capacity or
knowhow to help SA change gear and put this issue on a positive trajectory. Land reform in SA will not
be “solved” without private sector co-leadership, active involvement, knowhow and support.
