South African Parliament Votes to Seize Land From White Farmers

in south •  7 years ago 

The South African Parliament, which is dominated by the Marxist African National Congress (ANC), voted on Tuesday to confiscate without compensation all of the land owned by white farmers in South Africa.

The proposal, which passed 241 to 83, was put forward by the Marxist radical Julius Malema, head of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party,

The plan would amend part of South Africa's constitution and allow the government to take the land from the white farmers and not provide them with any financial compensation. The communist ANC fully supported the proposal.

"The time for reconciliation is over," said Malema. "Now is the time for justice. We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land."

In 2016, Malema said he was "not calling for the slaughter of white people -- at least for now."

On the land-confiscation vote, Minister of Water Affairs Gugile Nkwinti said, "The ANC unequivocally supports the principle of land expropriation without compensation. There is no doubt about it, land shall be expropriated without compensation."

I have been seeing this all over the internet and I must say that i find it disturbing. How did these white farmers acquire these lands, and for how long have they owned them? How many acres of land all together are we talking?
What does this change for the ordinary South African economically, be they black or white?

Yes I was wondering if it is even true, they voted and I didn't know there was a problem
