Abstract

This paper analyses South Africa’s land reform policies post-1994 against the backdrop of the apartheid government’s manoeuvres through the repeal of the notorious Land Acts in 1991. The paper concludes that the democratic government could have avoided the challenges of ineffective land reform by taking into consideration land dispossession prior to 1913.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
