The Struggle for Land in Kouga: A Case Study on Stock Impounding

In December 2014, the Khanyisa Education and Development Trust December produced this booklet on The Struggle for Land in Kouga: A Case Study on Stock Impounding.

This case study focuses on stock impounding in Hankey, a local area in the Kouga Municipality in the Eastern Cape Province. The main tool for the research is a survey of black stock farmers in Centerton, Phillipsville and Weston (Hankey) who had experienced stock impounding between 2011 and 2013. The livestock of all of these farmers had been impounded in a private pound facility in Lourie that was only registered in June 2013.
