DU PLESSIS, WJ. The Legal Framework Governing Traditional Leaders' Role in Land Use Planning in South Africa. PER [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.1, pp.1-28. ISSN 1727-3781.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/1727-3781/2023/v26i0a16564.

This article investigates the legal framework governing the role of traditional leaders in land use planning, through a historical gaze at the nature and authority of traditional leadership in South Africa. It is through this brief historical discussion that the influence of colonial and apartheid concepts of traditional leadership, as concretised in legislation, comes to the fore. This then creates a basis from which the Traditional and Khoisan Leadership Act 3 of 2019 and the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act 16 of 2013 are explored.
