Abstract:The most important statute used to affect the removal of people against their will in South Africa is the Prevention of Illegal Squatting Act of 1951. The Act was repeatedly amended during the 1970s, and again in 1989. Related to the policy of forced removals is the consolidation of homeland boundaries. The National States Constitution Act of 1971 gives the State President the power to incorporate land into the territory of a homeland before it becomes independent. This chapter describes developments during 1989, when the government sought unsuccessfully to introduce further powers to alter the boundaries of all self-governing homelands. A few court cases concerning illegal squatting and homeland consolidation are presented at the end. Ref.
