Mpumulanga's largest Land Claim was recently finalised with the handing over of the 24 million rand farm known as Ludwigslust to the Lugedlane community outside Mjejane (formerly Hectorspruit). The community are the original owners of the 3852 ha farm. The Lugedlane community was forcibly removed from the land between 1926 and 1953. In 1993 the then Department of Native Affairs sold the land to a Malaysian Company known as the Kingsland Investment Company. The land was never developed and the Malaysian Company withdrew their initial development plan when South Africa introduced its land reform programme. The Lugedlane community includes 5000 households who lodged a combined claim called the Greater Tenbosch Land Claim. Since the land claim was settled the community signed a memorandum of understanding with a Johannesburg based Developer to create a five star ecotourism destination.

This has resulted in the creation of one of the most exciting new private game reserves and real estate investment opportunities adjoining the southern boundary of the Kruger National Park. Mjejane Game Reserve stretches all the way from the N4 to the Kruger Park. It shares 10km of river frontage with the Kruger National Park. The vision is to negotiate the incorporation of a portion of the reserve into the Greater Kruger National Park. These talks are currently underway.
