Incorporated land groups: part of the problem or part of the solution?

Abstract

This article argues that land group incorporation is a flawed mechanism because it does not provide for the simultaneous registration of the land that is supposed to belong to the group, and invests title in groups rather than individuals. The continued use of this mechanism will ensure that property interests are subject to political expediency, and that individual interests will be savaged by the political leadership. The same situation was equally true in the West until property interests were ascribed to individuals whose rights were given strong protection in the law and constitutionally entrenched.
