South Africa farm seizures BEGIN: Chaos as first expropriation of white-owned farms starts

[Darkman00]

Is Barack Hussein Mandela turning in his grave?

I doubt it ...

 

[deanrd]

Is the South African government seizing farmers' land?

Most of the country's farms and agricultural holdings are owned by white farmers - 72% according to government statistics. White people make up 9% of the population.
---------------------------

Huh? Whites are 9% of the population but own 72% of farms and agriculture?

How can that be?

 

[Issa]

Dont support the killing of any race or group...but black south Africans have the right to recover the land that was taken under the apartheid or under euro occupation. Same happened in most of Africa before....once the colonizers were kicked out the land went ba k to the original owners.

It's not nice being persecuted for your skin color, is it? It angers you.

Now imagine your people living under apartheid for decades from foreigners in your own land.

I say Karma is coming to collect.

Karma is not supposed to be an excuse for racism, theft and oppression, troll.

 

[JimBowie1958]

This is just one more piece of evidence that you cannot trust Marxists.

The time to leave was when Mandela was alive and the farms still had relatively high values.

Sell then migrat to some place where people still ahve strong property rights and a just government.

Obviously this would exclude the USA where the Democrats can do anything they damned well want and get away with it and Republicans act like sheep.

So you believe that the people of today should pay for the crimes of our ancestors. Great. So where does this end? Is it limited to five generations or can we, or perhaps I should say must we go further back? Can we judge guilt for crimes committed during the dark ages? The long standing principle that the Children are not responsible for the sins of the father is apparently long gone. Good. Glad to hear it.

But is there a limit?

Hey Whitey, COME BACK! We now realize we like to eat!

Trump is an idiot.

Michelle Obama is a tranny.

SA was a country of whites always.

Next you're going to tell me America was always a white nation.

SA has always been white, just like Norway has always been black.

Yep, America is indeed a country created by whites, for whites, for Christians, for folks of european origin.

It's been advertised as South Africa's land seizure is being done without compensation but white farmers are offered few million dollars in compensation. For example, Steenkamp and Cloete asked for 200 million rand ($20.8m) for their reserve and they were offered 20m rand ($2.08m) by the South African government. I think they should take the money and start a new life in Australia or New Zealand. The farm received a valuation of 50m rand in 2011 and they got 40% of its market value.

Johan Steenkamp and Arnold Cloete, co-owners of the Akkerland Boerdery hunting farm in Limpopo province, said they were ordered to hand over their land after talks to buy it at a 10th of the price broke down, the Daily Mail reported.

Steenkamp and Cloete asked for 200 million rand ($20.8m) for their reserve but were only offered 20m rand ($2.08m).

I dont agree with the way it was done in Zimbabwe....but the natives should get their land back, most Africa for its land back feom the french, Belgium, Portugal, Spain etc.....

The Africans can get their land back, then starve. When they get tired of starving, they can offer free land to white farmers.

Study history, Africans they faired better than Europeans for long period of times in history....Europeans came in as invaders, killed millions, enslaved millions and stole trillions. Things are going back to their original form that's all.

Trump’s Vile Ploy on South Africa

The president, who gets his intelligence briefings from Fox News, repeats a white nationalist myth about murders of white South African farmers.

By The Editorial Board

Trust President Trump, following his familiar tactic of deflecting attention from yet another scandal by issuing some outrageous tweet, to come down hard on the wrong side of an issue he knows nothing about, based on no more than a slanted Fox News program. In a late-Wednesday tweet, Mr. Trump said he had asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to look into land seizures and the “large-scale killing of farmers” in South Africa. It was the first time he has mentioned Africa by name in a tweet as president.

His source was a grossly one-sided report by the Fox host Tucker Carlson asserting that the South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, was seizing land from his citizens because they are the wrong “skin color.” There have been no large-scale killings of white farmers, and Mr. Ramaphosa’s proposal to change the Constitution to allow expropriation of land without compensation has not yet passed. That said, the issue does deserve a close look.

There can be no question that South Africa’s black people were long denied fair access to land. The Natives Land Act of 1913 essentially reserved most of the land to the white minority, and the restrictions became more onerous in the apartheid era. When that system was finally dismantled almost 25 years ago, a new Constitution did provide for land reform, but the process has moved slowly. Statistics vary, but what is clear is that whites, who are less than 10 percent of the population, continue to own more than two-thirds of the land, while black South Africans, the overwhelming majority, own a much smaller share.
