Mpumalanga Province occupies 6.3 per cent or 76 495 of the total land area of South Africa, with a total population of 3 617 600 or 7.4 per cent share of the total population of South Africa. The province is known for its forestry plantations and abundance of citrus and many other subtropical fruits such as mangoes, avocados, litchis bananas etc. Nelspruit, one of the largest citrus producing areas in South Africa, is found in Mpumalanga. This, therefore, explains why land reform is such as important programme in this area and why it should be addressed in manners that address the questions of equitable land ownership as well as agricultural growth.
