Land Restitution in South Africa: Post-Apartheid Property Struggle

The South African Restitution Program's primary goal is to return land that was stolen from blacks during white minority rule. Media portrayals of the struggle for land usually focus on the conflict between white farmers and black landless individuals and communities. In the documentary, this standard paradigm is inapplicable because the apartheid government sold land that it confiscated from one black family (the Ndolilas) to other black families (the Bondholders). The pressing question is: what will the ANC do when the problem is no longer black and white?

if the restituents got financial compensation for the land that was sold to other people who built there their houses in the meanwhile, they would get resources to build their own houses, start a business or rebuild their existence in other ways... stubborness is the worst hindrance in reconciliation :(
