A coalition government offers black farmers a leveraging opportunity that has the potential to redefine their relationship with the state.
A prospective coalition government must be viewed within the context of a pendulum that oscillates between a spectrum of opportunities, versus real tangible challenges and concerns.
As a result, the primary function of the then white farmer was to produce. The policy reforms of 1994 catalysed a period of trial and error in the mapping of contextually responsive developmental pathways in attempts to build an inclusive economy.I argue that it was during that time that the ANC-led government strategically and implicitly embedded the Reconstruction and Development Program into the market-led Growth, Economic and Redistribution policy framework.
The Gear-RDP relationship fundamentally established a normalisation of economic relations between the first and second economy. Secondly, it failed to define and clearly resolve the role of land and agriculture in the economy.Consequently, black agricultural activity, synonymous with small-scale agriculture, continues to be dictated to by politics and the sociocultural meanings of land.
Concurrent to the policy debate is the questionable moral-ethical relationship that has formed between the state and black farmers post-1994. One can attribute this relationship to SA’s political history, that has allowed for the state to assume a paternal role in positioning itself as the rightful custodian of black farmer interests.
