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.
