Big Business has so far failed to develop almost 300km of of the Wild Coast/Transkei coastline which is worth billions of rands. They want to, but the communal land tenure has prevented this.

It is widely recognised that inequality is one of the greatest challenges South Africa faces. This will be exacerbated if we allow commercial farmers to earn millions of rands per hectare while paying minimum wage to their workers. On the other-hand, if small farmers are earning the same amount for working their own land, then inequality will be dramatically reduced. One can produce 3 kg of marijuana in a small plot every year, and that currently wholesales for R150,000. Compare that to the minimum wage of less than R3000 per month.

Organised crime is location-neutral. If there is money to be made, they will operate anywhere. As things stand now, illegal marijuana is being grown throughout South Africa. So I don't see how this is an argument against growing only in the former-Transkei.
