- Description
- The current study aimed at investigating the contribution of land redistribution programme towards poverty alleviation in Misgund development project. The study was conducted in the Eastern Cape Province within Cacadu District at Koukamma Local Municipality in a rural town of Misgund. The study employed qualitative research method, with a sample of ten project beneficiaries who are both men and women. The unstructured interviews were used to collect data for the study and supplemented by scholarly texts, journals articles, policy documents, reports, newspapers and magazines articles. The data was analysed using coding, listing, categorising and content analysis as data analysis methods. After the data was analysed it was interpreted to obtain information to address problems and come up with recommendations. The study revealed the effects that the land redistribution programme has in the lives of the rural people of Misgund, which include amongst others, poverty alleviation, women empowerment and job creation. The involvement of the project beneficiaries in the conception of the project and their participation in decision making is of importance as it contributes to the sustainability of the project. It is recommended that the Department of Land Reform should consider involving the communities when deciding on the choice of the project that will be funded, so as to obtain information and history of the project to be purchased. It is also important to determine the estimated time of harvesting and when the project will start producing dividends so as to sensitise the project beneficiaries.
