“…Conflicts over land ownership and use in Mayime have racial, ethnic, religious, gender, patrilineal, and class dimensions, these social identities articulating with each other in complex ways to mediate access to jobs, dividends and decision‐making power in Shiloh. Shiloh is bordered by the densely populated Sada Township, a resettlement site for the victims of apartheid‐era forced removals (Evans, 2014). Shiloh's residents have submitted a collective land claim on Sada, asserting that it is located on their ancestral grazing land.…”

The paper explores how beneficiaries of South Africa's land reform programme attempt to navigate the contradictory dynamics of production and social reproduction in collectively owned agricultural enterprises. The Mphuzanyoni Communal Property Association in KwaZulu‐Natal province farms with commercial beef herds and the Mayime Cooperative in the Eastern Cape province is engaged in a joint venture dairy farming scheme in partnership with an agribusiness firm. Severe tensions are evident between the social reproduction of households and the requirements of simple or expanded reproduction of agricultural enterprises. Bernstein's concept of competing ‘funds’ is used to examine struggles over production and reproduction on the farms, in which members of socially differentiated households contest divergent visions for the collective enterprises. Conflicts centre on how labour and capital should be mobilised, how income and other benefits in kind should be distributed to households and whether or not income should be invested for purposes of simple or expanded reproduction of the enterprise. Challenges of governance are rooted in these conflicts rather than in group ownership as a form of property right.

This article examines the global dynamics of late colonialism and how these informed South African apartheid. More specifically, it locates the programmes of mass relocation and bantustan 'self-government' that characterised apartheid after 1959 in relation to three key dimensions. Firstly, the article explores the global circulation of idioms of 'development' and trusteeship in the first half of the twentieth century and its significance in shaping segregationist policy; secondly, it situates bantustan 'selfgovernment' in relation to the history of decolonisation and the partitions and federations that emerged as late colonial solutions; and, thirdly, it locates the tightening of rural village planning in the bantustans after 1960 in relation to the elaboration of anti-colonial liberation struggles, repressive southern African settler politics and the Cold War. It argues that, far from developing policies that were at odds with the global 'wind of change', South African apartheid during the 1960s and 1970s reflected much that was characteristic about late colonial strategy.
