Zim to 'nationalise farms' - Aug 18, 2005

'Dangerous turning point' in SA land reform - 05 August 2005 - "Speaking last week at the national land summit, Minister of Agriculture and Land Affairs Thoko Didiza said the African National Congress inherited one of the worst racially skewed land-redistribution problems in the world, with whites owning 87% and blacks 13% of agricultural land. Undoing this apartheid legacy is a fundamental priority for South Africa, she said." "(Democratic Alliance leader) Leon warned rejection of this principle by many delegates at the summit means land reform in South Africa "has reached a potentially dangerous turning point". The ANC has carefully adhered to the willing-buyer-willing-seller principle "since the interim Constitution was agreed to in 1993". He said its plans to re-examine this principle threatens to "reignite one of the most contentious issues in our society". It could also frighten away foreign investors."
