Abstract:
This report is based on research carried
out between June 2003 and April 2005 in the
Greater Sekhukhune Cross-Border District
Municipality, which straddles the boundaries
of the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces.
This research took place in two case-study
sites, namely the Hereford and the Phetwane
Irrigation Schemes. However, this report
focuses on findings from Hereford only.
The research was primarily concerned with
the impact of BEE, articulated through joint
ventures, on the ‘livelihoods’ of people living
in emerging small-scale irrigation schemes in
some of the least affluent rural areas within
the municipality.
