It explores the extent to which there are missing links between policy imperatives, the legal system, court processes and socio-economic emancipation. It argues that the failure of the state in policy design and implementation has turned courts into contradictory sites of struggle for emancipating land rights.

More than a century later, South Africa is still struggling to redress this historical injustice and the inequality it continues to foster.
