THIS report is based on research undertaken by AFRA in 2002/3. The process of compiling the information included an extensive literature review, workshops with the forest dwellers and interviews with various stakeholders. A number of issues were considered and a large volume of literature and workshop reports on these exists in AFRA's offices. These are available on request. The Department of Regional and Land Affairs commissioned a similar study in 1993 when the state was attempting to lure people out of the forest following the 1988 "invasion". Integrated Planning Services undertook the study, which included Annette van Riesen's historical analysis of land and an environmental study by George Begg. Although well researched and deeply instructive, the department ignored the recommendations and shelved the report. AFRA's report draws heavily on this 1993 report. The forest occupants, committee members and other key leaders in the Dukuduku forest sanctioned the research that AFRA undertook and on which this report is based.
