Paper long abstract:
There is a historical linkage between land social movements and NGOs in South Africa. The literature points to the fact that due to apartheid constraints the non-governmental organisations were the only institutional form able to act in a legitimate way to represent rural residents during from the 1960 decade. After the end of racist regime the NGOs and social movements coexisted sometimes collaborating or conflicting over the same cases and communities. In this paper we analyse this conflicts and collaborations among Landless People´s Movement activists, NGO, State officials and political parties from 2005 to 2012.
