在纳米比亚，就像在南部非洲的其他地方一样，关于土地改革的争论往往是关于将以前白人拥有的永久拥有的牧场重新分配给黑人，而不是没有土地的人。毫不奇怪，新独立的纳米比亚的赢家是黑人精英。他们的立场得到了加强，因为他们认为，管理土地的唯一无害环境的方法是将其细分为牧场，因为传统的开放式放牧对环境具有破坏性。这一观点与越来越多的研究不一致，但得到了保守派政治领导人的支持，他们是这一政策的直接受益者。
In Namibia, as elsewhere in southern Africa, arguments about land reform tend to be about the redistribution of formerly white-owned freehold ranches to blacks, rather than the landless. Not surprisingly, the winners in newly independent Namibia are the black elite. Their position is reinforced by the belief that the only environmentally sound way to manage the land is to subdivide it into ranches because traditional open-range pastoralism is environmentally destructive. This point of view, which is at variance with an increasingly large body of research, is sustained by the conservative political leadership who are the immediate beneficiaries of this policy.
