As South Africa approaches its 2030 development commitments, the continued exclusion of the Black majority from equitable access to land exposes a structural failure to redress the legacy of apartheid. ESCR-Net member, the Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS), is challenging this inertia. Researchers Thuto Gabaphethe and Lulama Madyaka argue that the government’s inaction is not a delay, but a breach of binding constitutional and human rights obligations. Through a proposed amicus curiae intervention, CALS calls for transformative, redistributive land reform—underscoring that without it, justice, dignity, and equality cannot be realized.
