Water Rights and Rural Restructuring in South Africa: A Case Study from Eastern Transvaal
By comparison with land reform, water rights have received little attention in proposals for rural restructuring arising from constitutional reform in South Africa. Yet the heavy dependence of South African agriculture on irrigation means that access to water may be critical to the outcome of land redistribution to black farmers. This paper describes the hydrological and institutional basis of water use in a subcatchment of the Sabie river in the eastern Transvaal. It considers the conflicting claims of forestry, white and black farmers, and the Kruger National Park, and identifies possible avenues through which to establish a redistributive water management system in the post-apartheid era.
