'n Grondbesitstelsel vir die toekoms in Suid-Afrika

Abstract

The current South African tradition of full and perpetual title to land is nowadays seriously under the light of the many problems it creates. In fact, there is already a tendency to detect in modern development talks of a shift of accent to possession of buildings and housing rights and utilization of common public open spaces rather than free ownership of plots and holdings. Ebenezer Howard (1899 and some of his predecessors have so strongly motivated the issue of "public ownership of land" that rent lease and even rent of homes have spontaneously been widely used in England and Europe since the beginning of the century (Howard, 1899).
