SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES IN RURAL AREAS TELLING THE STORY ABOUT SOUTH
AFRICA'S RURAL POOR
by Gara LaMarche
This is a story about the Skhosanas, interviewed by Social Surveys Africa:
Until 2001, they survived relatively well on the farm. They had a tap for water; they had
firewood. Then the farm was sold to a new owner who wanted the Skhosanas off the land.
For two years, they fought eviction. After all, this was the 'new' South Africa, and, for the
first time, they had rights. But the farm owner shut down their water tap and ordered them
to stop gathering wood on his land. Finally, the owner came early one morning when the
children were still asleep, broke down the door, and threw the family's furniture and
belongings onto the road. The children were afraid they would have nowhere to sleep. Mr
Skhosana was ill and could not work anymore. Mrs Skhosana says she will never forget
the experience of 'being thrown out like rubbish'.
1.1 The article, FIGURE 1, is about social justice issues in rural areas.
1.1.4 Name and explain a land reform programme through which government can assist
people like Skhosana. (2 x 2)(4)

ACTIVITY 1
1.1. Urbanisation is defined as “the increasing proportion of people that live in towns and
cities (1)
1.3
1.3.2 It started at an earlier stage. This type of migration happened in MEDCs from the
18th Century onwards on a large scale, and has gradually slowed down. They have
continued to urbanise but rates have slowed down. They are close to reaching their
peak in urbanization. In fact in many MEDCs the movement of people has reversed,
and people are moving from urban areas back into the countryside as they search for
the quiet life (this is known as counter- urbanisation)
Africa and Asia – considered LEDCs are experiencing massive rural to urban
migration, mainly of young males, into the major cities. The major reasons for this
movement can include the chance of a better job, better access to education and
services, a higher standard of living. (4)
1.4.
1.4.1 There has been a rapid increase in urban population since 2002 (1)
1.4.2 Demolitions of many Apartheid laws that restricted the movement of people into urban
areas.
The major reasons for this movement can include the chance of a better job, better
access to education and services, a higher standard of living etc. (2)

FIGURE 3.5: BEEF FARMING
2020 AND BEYOND: A VISION FOR THE SOUTH AFRICAN BEEF INDUSTRY
In 2016 South Africa became a net red meat exporter for the first time, supplying mainly the
cheap beef market.
In 2016 global red meat exports amounted to 9,44 million tons. Brazil led the way, exporting
1,85 million tons or 19,6% of the total. South Africa ranked 15th at 60 000 tons, or 0,64%, of
the world total.
The recent drought showed how crucial it was for the country's beef industry to stop focusing
on exporting only cheap beef. By exporting higher quality beef, our industry can protect itself
from shocks that result in reduced profits.
It must be noted, however, that with the current high beef price in South Africa, the country
will be unable to compete against the likes of Brazil and other top beef exporters.

FIGURE 3.5: MINING IN SOUTH AFRICA
The South African mining and minerals industry has been the basis of the South African
economy for more than a century. Mining contributes approximately 17% to the gross domestic
product (GDP) of the country, both directly and indirectly.
The South African mining sector faces significant challenges under the current downturn in
commodity prices. Platinum, coal, steel and gold markets are affected. The increase in input
costs, such as labour and direct and indirect energy-related costs, coupled with lower
productivity levels, has impacted negatively on the sector.
While there have been improvements in mining along the way, it is still very reliant on
traditional methods of extraction, which are labour-intensive and costly, and have elements of
risk to employees' safety and health.

FIGURE 4.5: CATTLE FARMING
While South Africa has what appears to be a thriving beef industry, its average productivity,
compared with that of other countries, shows that it is not achieving its full potential. This is
partly due to the low productivity of our informal beef farming sector. This problem needs
to be corrected. The South African beef industry is in a position to take advantage of Africa's
increasing middle-class expenditure and increased population growth from one billion to
two billion people by 2050 – and the associated demand for red meat. In recent years there
have been worldwide improvements in beef feeding practices and herd quality through the
use of modern technologies. These technologies have failed to find their way into South
Africa's informal beef farming sector. Due to several factors, including environmental
concerns, the national beef herd cannot be increased, and existing production methods
therefore need to be improved.

Countries with the strongest international trade practices have become prosperous (well-
off) and have the power to control the world economy. It is a fact that global trade can
become one of the major contributors to the reduction of poverty.
International trade accounts for a good part of many developing countriesʹ revenue,
positively affecting their gross domestic product. International trade is growing at a rapid
rate due to some of the following reasons: use of modern production techniques; highly
advanced transportation systems and outsourcing (contract out) of manufacturing and
services.

(2) The goods and services sold through informal trading are often cheaper
and increases the purchasing power of the poor (2)
Informal trading encourages purchases by tourists of South African goods
at affordable prices (2)
