Welverdiend Community Trust

After a long history of trying to purchase property, (assisted by the Transvaal Rural Action Committee and others), and following a spate of arrests for illegal squatting, the Welverdiend community, some 117 households, received an option to purchase portions of the farm Welverdiend in the region of Lichtenburg. The LRC was approached to assist them in setting up a Trust which could act for the community in acquiring the land, and hold the land for the community. The LRC drafted the Trust Deed as well as made representations to all the relevant authorities, such as the Receiver of Revenue, the Master of the Supreme Court, the Department of Land Affairs. The LRC also negotiated with the farmers from whom the land would be bought, and assisted with the canvassing of donors.
