The study explored the research question: What are the influencers of land users’ perceptions of land resources? It sought opinions of respondents on whether or not a list of identified circumstances were influencers of land users’ perceptions of land resources. A structured interview schedule was used to collect data from 101 land users in Mphosong-Bolahla catchment area, who were selected using Nassiuma’s [1] Formula. Data were analysed by descriptive statistics using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer programme version 20.0 and the findings were presented using statistical indicators, namely: means and standard deviations. The findings revealed that respondents were generally aware of the socio-economic, cultural and institutional influencers of land users’ perceptions of their land resources. The socio-economic influencers were: ownership of freehold land and small landholdings, availability of off-farm income, employment, better market access, labour-intensive nature of land resource management, lack of access to consumer markets, insecurity of tenure, education, access to credit, and poverty. The cultural influencers were: rotational grazing, awareness of cropping systems and consequences, awareness of economic value of land, belief in land ownership as basis for personal and family identity, adherence to succession in land management, and belief that land is a cultural asset. The institutional influencers were: integration of stakeholders in planning management of rangeland resources, training for promotion of conservation technologies, access to conservation services, policy failures, and complexity of government procedures. The study concluded that land users recognise the existence of socio-economic, cultural and institutional influencers of their views on land resources and that this abundant wealth and resourcefulness ought to be optimised through their adequate involvement in decision-making regarding their land resources.
