Abstract
The primary purpose of this research was to establish whether municipalities in the current local government dispensation in the Free State are able to utilise commonage land to promote emerging farmers so effectively that they become viable commercial farmers. The secondary purpose of the study is to outline how, in the event of emerging farmers ion municipal commonage becoming successful commercial farmers, the concept would form part of formulating a formal policy for local economic development (LED).-
