The beginning of this topic makes it quite clear and I have also read it all, but it is a long time ago. Very illuminating though

The Makuleke were removed from Pafuri in 1969. For the other claims it might be difficult to find accessible information.
The Madonsi community were removed in 1926 by the then apartheid government.

Aha! That late! I thought that it all took place much earlier - more or less during the creation of the Kruger Park.Toko wrote:The Makuleke were removed from Pafuri in 1969. For the other claims it might be difficult to find accessible information.

http://www.sanews.gov.za/south-africa/w ... -claimantsIn total, six communities in Mpumalanga and Limpopo received monetary compensation for their land that they were forcibly removed from by the apartheid government.
The communities, three from Limpopo and another three from Mpumalanga, were all removed from their land in the Skukuza area in the Kruger National Park.
A total of 135 households today received a total of R110 000 as compensation for their land.
Although most of the claimants have passed on, the remaining family members or their grandchildren received the compensation on behalf of them.
The Madonsi community said they are now residing in the Malamulele area, in Giyani.
Another beneficiary was Chief Ndindane or John Chauke representing the Ndindane community, who were also removed from Skukuza situated in the Kruger National Park area in 1921.
Like the Madonsi community, the Ndindane community lodged their land claim in 1998.
“We are so excited that our government has finally compensated us for our land,” said Chief Ndindane.
Perry Sambo, a representative of the Mhlanganisweni community in Mpumalanga told SAnews that although money is not of the same value as their land, they are grateful for the compensation.
“We are happy with the compensation that our government has given to us today,” he said.
The affected communities came in their numbers to witness the handing over of the compensation.

If you compare the article stating"the communities were all removed from their land in the Skukuza area" to the 2007 claim map, it's conflicting info
