| Summary: | In this article, I ask the question how we can relate <em>ubuntu</em> to South African land reform from a practical-theological point of view. I will look at researchers� efforts to understand <em>ubuntu </em>and how these efforts do and do not integrate into the conversation around land reform.Referring to land reform, I will focus on two private narratives as opposed to dominant public narratives. An in-depth discussion on legislation and research on perspectives of land ownership therefore falls outside of the ambit of this article. In conclusion, I will argue that the relationship between a landowner and his or her dispossessed coworkers can be the fertile soil which <em>ubuntu</em> requires to find sustainable local answers to land reform. |
