This article argues that the goals of social justice, poverty alleviation and gender equality
within the post‐apartheid government’s land reform programme are threatened by government’s neo‐liberal macroeconomic framework,
by shortcomings in addressing gender and because rural women do not constitute an organized social force.
The article outlines the key elements of the land reform programme and points to limitations arising from the market‐based nature
of the land reform programme. The article highlights innovative mechanisms within the programme aimed at involving women in land reform.
