Produktbeschreibung
In South Africa, the land in communal areas is held by the state and administered by traditional leaders who have historically discriminated against women, the book employs a case study method to show case how cultural laws are exercised when women apply for a piece of land at the three levels of traditional authority viz: village, sub-village and traditional council levels.
