RSA land reform bill

[flying sailor]

Short article this morning how the ANC has drafted a land reform bill. Authorizes land seizure without compensation if it is necessary for the state. The bill now goes to Cyril. I guess the ANC is desperate for votes. Malema of EFF says it does not go far enough. I REALLY hate to see this. There are more than enough empoverished African nations to go around.

Welcome to Election year.

There’s no situation so bad that a rabble rousing, vote buying politician can’t make it worse.

Land reform is not the answer. Zimbabwe is proof enough. Political reform is the only solution and I don't see that happening. I should have booked my trip this year. May not be a next year for RSA.

Bad news for sure. Especially for the people of SA. “Land Reform” has been a disaster for Zimbabwe, but it’s so politically attractive, that SA seemingly can’t help but go down the same dark path.

As for us hunters, I doubt much of anything will change in our lifetimes. Zimbabwe has been in the “land reform” business since 1980 and we are still hunting there.

Like land reform is going to get the power turned on or the railroads running again. Give everybody two acres to run a couple of goats. That will pay the doctor and fix the roads. I'm sure the teacher will be happy to work for a chunk of cheese. Pfft.

This goofy peasant reform crap just chases more business out of South Africa. That benefits no one.

This came up back in 2017/18. The RSA constitution is fairly strong but how many attacks can it withstand?

It is a fuckup of epic proportions and does not include only land but any property owned......

Here’s hoping the Democratic Alliance takes power.

Wont happen.....there is even the prospect that the EFF will become the official opposition.....fu any way you look at it.......

It took quite a while for the Indigenous African Govt to erode and use up the great infra structure that RSA provided them. Land is all that they haven't used up yet. It's next.............FWB

"Still the worst, like the best, never happens," Jan Smuts commented about SA in 1949

While there are an abundance of issues in SA, it is very unlikely to follow the failures of countries like Zim etc
