Abstract

A new squatting phenomenon in South Africa is analysed from a rent-seeking, pressure-group perspective. While such squatting may play an expanded role in privatising publicly- and even privately-held land and in redistributing wealth over the near future, in the longer term its expansion will tend to be limited by rent-protecting and counter-innovation as long as this rent-seeking competition stays within the bounds set by constitutional government.
