The state of land reform in Namibia
Abstract
Thirty-one years post-independence, the wealth in Namibia is still unequal and racially segregated
as the colonial period left it. Land distribution plays a vital factor in maintaining these racial lines
as most land belongs to the minority of the Namibian population, white people. This significantly
leaves the majority of the population left out. Land also plays a vital role in agriculture as some
people’s livelihoods can benefit widely from agriculture.
