Question 1
a) Leasehold is a form of land tenure that is not of a permanent nature and whereby land
is occupied in terms of a contract of lease.
b) Quitrent tenure entailed the occupation of property for a 15-year period. This was
renewable and subject to the payment of an annual rental.
c) Deed-of-grant rights are strong limited real rights registered over surveyed land. The
holder can, with the necessary permission, obtain the right to occupy the land, erect
buildings, let or subdivide the land, mortgage the rights, and dispose of the rights.
d) Tribal land rights in customary law comprise rights to use land for grazing,
cultivation, and residential purposes. The leader of the community, in consultation
with his council, allots portions of land to families. The family head usually acquires
residential and arable land, and, after land has been allocated, he also acquires access
to natural resources on the commonage, for example land for grazing.
e) In the case of sharecropping, duties were divided between a cultivator (usually a
black person) and a non-cultivator (usually a white landowner). The no cultivator
provided land (usually arable farms owned by a white person), while the cultivator
provided seed as well as labour. The cultivator obtained the right to occupy a piece of
land in return for the payment of an agreed proportion of the produce to the
landowner.
f) In the case of labour tenancy, the labour tenant (usually a black man and his family)
received a piece of land (usually land on a farm owned by a white person) to live on
and to cultivate crops in exchange for labour.
g) In a sectional-title ownership, the owner acquires individual ownership of a section,
being a part of a building (such as a flat, office or shop), together with a co-ownership
share in the common property (comprising the land and all parts of the building not
forming part of the sectional owners' sections, calculated according to the
participation quota).
h) A share-block scheme can also operate with regard to residential, office or
commercial property, and it provides the share block holder with a contractual right
of use with regard to a specific part of the building.
i) Time-sharing schemes are a separate kind of interest in property use aimed at
obtaining a right to the intermittent use of the property for certain limited periods of
each year. This applies mostly to property used for intermittent, residential holiday
accommodation.
j) Retirement-housing schemes provide retired persons with suitable residential
property.
