The LandThe Freedom Charter decrees that the land shall be shared among those who work it. This is the ethos by which Africans relate with land. It belongs to all who are entitled to live on it. It is so valuable it is priceless. It is the giver of life. Human beings, in life and in death, are attached to it. Wars have been fought to acquire and in defence of land. Such wars were invariably waged under the direction of traditional leaders. Where communal land was acquired through purchase it was almost always done under the guidance of the institution. Accordingly, present day traditional leaders have a duty to protect communal lands. No one should be destitute and be denied of a piece of land to produce food for himself and those who are his dependants, and to provide for his livestock. The same principles apply to the rivers and natural forests running through communal lands. The fish, the birds and wild game also belong in an equitable share to members of the relevant community.
