Willing buyer, wiling seller still for best land reform

Windhoek - The willing buyer, willing seller model is still the best for Namibia's land reform despite its shortcomings, according to a study released on Monday.

"It has been observed that, despite its shortcomings, the market-based land redistribution often dubbed, 'willing buyer, willing seller' approach is still the best tool for land redistribution," the study found.

The "Study into land prices in Namibia" was released on Monday. It was commissioned by Namibia's land and resettlement ministry and was conducted by Fleefort Muzyamba and Andrew Hilton, with the help of the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organisation.
