The restoration of land rights is one of the key factors in the
transformation process of South Africa. The complexities of
restoration of land rights are many times underestimated and the
competing interests involved may lead to the process becoming
outdrawn and emotional. In few areas is the potential for conflict
of interest so apparent than when land claims are introduced on
national parks and other conservation areas held dear by the
nation. While national parks and other conservation reserves fulfil
a crucial role in the local and regional economic development of
South Africa, it is also of crucial importance that historical
wrongs, which may have led to the establishment of such parks, are
rectified. Numerous parks and conservation areas or parts thereof,
were after all, established on land that was obtained through
discriminatory means from black people. When the Makuleke claim
against the northern part of the Kruger National Park was
introduced, the scene was set for a lengthy and emotional
encounter. The claim was referred to as a "test" to reconcile
competing interests. The joint management model, which has been
agreed upon by the South African National Parks (SANP) and the
Makuleke community to settle the claim, is an example of how closer
co-operation can be structured to facilitate co-operation and
economic empowerment of neighbouring communities while at the same
time protecting the conservation assets of South Africa. This
settlement may prove to be a guiding light for similar disputes in
other areas of South and southern Africa.
