摘要

This paper deals with the factors that contributed to the processes of uneven development in the management of agriculture in the former Bophuthatswana state. In outlining these factors certain management issues will be discussed by providing empirical evidence in this regard. Policy reforms in general will be raised in parts of the discussion. This is based on the premise that the amount of external assistance that would have been required to sustain Bophuthatswana’s economy and state in terms of addressing the manifest problems within government as a whole and for purposes of agricultural development and for reducing poverty, would have been substantially higher and will have been required for a much longer period. In attempting this, it is acknowledged that the recital of likely macroeconomic effects leaves out some important factors, and that the aggregative model does not pretend to capture all the richness and complexities of the former state’s agriculture and economy. Therefore, one cannot model the effects of all policy alternatives, nor does the discussion address questions of institutional or administrative reforms, except for introducing very briefly a specific viewpoint and opinion on the options that were open to Bophuthatswana. In as much as they affected its future, in terms of the constitutional proposals that were emerging in South Africa in the dynamic period of transition that ultimately led to the acceptance and construction of the democratic South African State in April of 1994. 126 Kuwait Chapter of Arabian Journal of Business and Management Review Vol. 3, No.2; Oct. 2013 The emphasis of the paper is therefore six fold. Firstly, it captures certain salient issues in respect of uneven development and the management of agriculture from the importance of an historical perspective and appeals for a paradigm shift by the democratic South African state in respect to agriculture and industrialization. More importantly, this appeal is grounded on the basis of a call for incorporating both the macro and micro in the South African reform process. Secondly, it exposes the MBA management student to the above, by exposing the student to agricultural discourse and its importance to business and management principles, and issues pertaining to development. Thirdly, it exemplifies the importance to Business Schools in general to incorporate a paradigm shift in respect of the types of issues that need to be included within the syllabi of MBA degrees and programmes. Fourthly, it brings to the fore a host of issues that students must look at in a critical manner within their studies when looking at agricultural, economic and development issues. Some of these are: poverty, telecommunications, nutrition, health issues, population growth, manpower and employment, illiteracy, education, family planning, research, rural welfare, technological change, variability in agriculture, agricultural business and its industrialization, organization,, policy implications, administration, physical infrastructure, farmer participation, transport, extension problems and so on, amidst a host of other important factors (These are not discussed in this paper). Fifth, that most or in fact almost all, revolutionary societies that have fought struggles against their colonial masters’ over time are generally structured and developed on the basis of the importance of agriculture, and the land question, in order to secure their independence and economies, for purposes of development and the promotion of the general welfare of their people, by means of redistribution of land and the promotion of their agricultural potential. These two aspects have in the main not been realized in almost 20 years of freedom and democracy in South Africa, and has therefore contributed to massive poverty, inequality and unemployment within the country. Lastly, or sixth that historical analysis is vital for purposes of understanding and elaborating on issues that affect development, with the hope that the history of the past would allow present governments to deal with underdevelopment, uneven development and agricultural challenges in a more cogent and intellectual manner, in order that they may set into motion proper policy initiatives to address the manifest problems that confront so – called Third World countries. Despite the inherent difficulties, some attention must be given to the purposes and goals of the management of agriculture. Why do farmers do so badly will be posed and discussed? The primacy of industrialization will be very briefly discussed and assessed. Lastly, it is hoped that managers of agriculture within the public sector of democratic South Africa, as well as the government will be in a position to learn from the experiences of the erstwhile Bophuthatswana, in a manner that they would not repeat the mistakes made by the former homeland in respect of the processes of uneven development and the poor management of agricultural develo
