A historical irony in the making? State, private sector and land reform in the South African wine industry
This article traces the development of the land distribution policy of the Department of Land Affairs (DLA) of South Africa. Despite the DLA 's political commitment to land reform by way of restitution, redistribution and tenure reform, to date no small-scale wine farmers have been settled in South Africa by virtue of this policy. Three case studies describe how agricultural labourers have successfully gained access to this lucrative sector through private sector intervention. It is also argued that the small farm versus large farm debate masks the real opportunities for land reform in the wine industry.
