Bhekindlela Mwelase has lived and worked on contested South African land his entire life. Like other members of the small community about a mile from Hilton College's manicured lawns and gabled schoolhouses, he can't expand the home he shares with more than a dozen members of his family, keep more than three adult goats or even invite visitors without approval from the exclusive boys' boarding school that has educated #SouthAfrica's elite for the past century.⠀
⠀
Who the land belongs to—the college that bought it in 1860 or the 87-year-old Mr. Mwelase, whose family has lived on it for many generations longer—is at the center of an intensifying political debate roiling Africa's most developed economy 24 years after the end of white minority rule.⠀
⠀
President Cyril Ramaphosa and the ruling African National Congress have pledged to pass laws letting the government expropriate land without compensation, a high-stakes move they say is necessary to remake some of the deep inequalities plaguing South Africa. White Afrikaner interest groups have threatened to take legal action against the planned expropriations bill and warned that it could drive them out of the country.⠀
⠀
Mr. Mwelase says his family should benefit from a 1996 law that promised labor tenants government help to buy the plots they have been living on. Barred from owning property under apartheid rules, black labor tenants—similar to sharecroppers in the U.S.—swapped work for the right to live, raise crops and graze livestock on white-owned land.⠀
⠀
Mr. Mwelase, his health fading, is waiting for a ruling on his land claim, which was first entered in 2001 and is disputed by Hilton College (shown in the second photo).⠀
⠀
"I was born here," Mr. Mwelase said as he sat in his backyard. "I worked there from the first day I remember to the day I retired."⠀
