**10. Landlessness must be treated as a violation of the human right**

The research by Naidoo and Naidoo [44] entitled "The erosion of human dignity in the New South Africa" explains amongst other things how humanity, particularly black humanity was unjustly robbed of their dignity and yet expected to embrace love. There is no way a land issue cannot be the top of the agenda of all sorts of injustices that put the black people in their adjacent poverty as they are today. Although some want to argue that we keep blaming the pre-1994 government whereas the country is now democratic, the author's argument is that those who are still mourning their loss must be allowed to do so until such time when they realise that the reversal of the wrongs has been done. Butler and Philphott ([45], p. 215) added to this argument by indicating that the very slow pace at which land reform is being done is cause for land grapping since many are losing patience to the process. For Goolam [46] the foundation of democracy, which is human dignity is attained by the equality of all people's human rights and freedom. This clarifies why the argument that reconciliation is still an uphill to climb when other people's dignity through the stripping of the land is still at stake.
