Abstract
The study explored some of the lived experiences of the youth especially regarding conflicts and their means of resolution. This followed the disruption of farm community lives after the land reform programme of year 2000. The study applied a phenomenological approach to engage participants in their natural environment. The study also relied on a contextual framework of farm community violence and how it is resolved. A total of 55 participants were randomly sampled from across young people aged between 20 and 40 including five key participants who are permanently resident at Foothills farm compound. Content analysis was employed to process data. The study established some conflicts that had been submerged, concealed, invisible and otherwise denied before exposing some of the most applied approaches to conflict resolution. The study also established that there is serious lawlessness in the farming communities.
