Establishing communal land registration in Namibia : the process, benefits and challenges

Kasita, M.

The Communal Land Reform Act, Act No 5 of 2002 established both the communal land registration and the Communal Land Boards. There are many role players in the registration process; government ministries, tradition authorities, tourism enterprise and the land right holders, residing communal areas. The aim of registering land rights in communal areas is to bring about tenure security and promote investment in land. The registration is however, constrained by cultural, financial, logistical and manpower challenges.
