HOPE Susanne Melda, 26 November 2012 Rural-urban migration is believed to affect various dimensions of migrants' well- being.

The process of migration is often undertaken with an aspiration (desire) of ] improved opportunities for socio-economic advancement. However, it does not always entail improvement of living standard and poverty eradication.

LAND REFORM IN SOUTH AFRICA Land reform in South Africa is the promise of “land restitution” to empower farm workers and reduce inequality. This also refers to aspects such as property, possible white owned businesses. It is believed to allow previously unemployed people to participate in the economy and better the country’s economic growth. It also relates to restitution in the form of settling land claims of people who were forcefully removed from their homes in urban areas that were declared white, by the apartheid government's segregationist Group Areas Act, as well as restitution for people forcibly evicted from rural land because of apartheid policies. However, many South Africans and foreign commentators have also voiced alarm over the failure of the redistribution policy, having failed around 50% of land reform projects. https:en.wikepedia.org/wiki/Land_reform_in_South_Africa 2.4.1 Define the term /and restitution.
