Although South Africa's land reform programme has achieved some progress in terms of improving access to land and contributing to improved livelihood for beneficiaries, its sustainability has been questioned, both within and outside government circles. In particular, some of the transferred farms have not reached the desired levels of productivity while others are not operational at all (Kirsten and Machethe, 2005; Anseeuw, 2012). It was partly as a result of the above that the Recapitalisation and Development Programme (RADP) was introduced in 2010, promoting recapitalisation of land reform farms and links with strategic partners. On request of the Department of Performance, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME), a mid-term evaluation was undertaken to assess the programme¿s implementation progress and intermediary results. This paper aims at presenting the results of this evaluation exercise. Based on extensive fieldwork and the implementation of a participatory M&E in 6 provinces, the results show that progress has been made regarding land reform, particularly from a socio-economic point of view. Production is increasing, market access has improved and social determinants such as social well-being and food security are on the rise. However, the strategic partnership model implemented questions effective empowerment of emerging farmers.

Cependant, 16 ans après la fin de l'apartheid, le pays n'a pu effacer les dualités agricoles et territoriales - construites lors de la période d'apartheid. Cet article défend la thèse qu'ils se sont même renforcées, en montrant que les instruments basés sur une libéralisation et une restructuration du secteur accompagnés de quelques mesures au cas par cas n'ont que très peu contribué à supprimer les inégalités territoriales, foncières et agricoles existantes. Il soutient par ailleurs que le renouveau de l'intérêt agricole au niveau global et sud-africain en particulier conduit au développement d'une agriculture capitaliste et industrielle au sein des territoires traditionnellement blancs, se traduisant par une concentration poussée du secteur, ce qui tend à renforcer la dualité des structures agricoles et territoriales sud-africaines.

International audience ; Since 2009 a partnership between CDE at the University of Bern, CIRAD, GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies, GIZ and ILC, has been systematically collating and verifying information on large-scale land acquisitions. This Land Matrix records transactions that entail a transfer of rights to use, control or own land through sale, lease or concession that are 200 ha or larger; and that have been concluded since the year 2000. The database is now the largest of its kind, and in 2012 will become publicly accessible. The data comes from a variety of sources that include media reports, reports by international organizations and NGOs as well as academic research including field-based research projects. These different reports are being sourced through the two most active Internet portals that deal with land transactions, www.commercialpressuresonland.org of the Land Portal operated by the International Land Coalition (ILC) and www.farmlandgrab.org operated by the NGO GRAIN. The database distinguishes four levels of data reliability. More specifically, a reliability ranking between 0 and 3 was introduced. - Reliability rank 0: Land transactions only reported by the press or other sources (typically from the internet) that have not undergone any process of verification. These transactions will be referred to as "only reported". - Reliability rank 1: Transactions reported by sources that are judged reliable, in particular transactions reported in research papers based on empirical evidence through field research, information on company websites (information on the main columns, such as: size, produce, year), as well as government records. - Reliability rank 2: Land transactions that have been checked by the Land Matrix Partnership through questionnaires submitted to organizations working in the host country - Reliability Rank 3: Deals where contractual agreements have been made publicly available.
