The Legal Assistance Centre completed a study funded by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Namibia on the commercial agricultural land reform process in Namibia. The report titled "An Analysis of the Namibian Commercial Agricultural Land Reform Process" addresses topics such as the introduction of land tax on commercial agricultural land, expropriation of commercial agricultural land, the Affirmative Action Loan Scheme, the Resettlement Programme, the Emerging Commercial Farmers Support Programme and foreign donor support on the land reform process. Expropriation appeared to be a punitive measure, the report said as farmers with labour problems were issued with expropriation letters. If challenged in court, this could be regarded as "unconstitutional", the report warned. The lack of criteria and the way government selected farms for expropriation, made white farmers insecure and gave them little incentive to invest in their farms. Copies of the report are available at the Legal Assistance Centre for N$20 per copy. For further information, Shadrack Tjiramba can be contacted at 061-223356 or via email at stjiramba@lac.org.na.
