How many black Africans will die from this? Zimbabwe taught them nothing.

[saganite]

South Africa following the Mozambique model. Stand by for urgent requests to aid the starving in SA.

[fso301]

Following the lead of Mugabe.

[larrysh]

Any white farmers who stuck around should have seen the handwriting on the wall long ago....Another African nation
that will end up on the edge of starvation.

[hsalaw]

Following the great example set by Zimbabwe, I see. Insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

[speedy]

Yes, this worked so well in Zimbabwe. Some days it seems as if there is no hope for the human race.

"After that, land could be expropriated."

Just a little whiff of the ANC in this comment. Mandela's true colors are shining through.

[headstamp]

"The challenge for the ruling ANC is to keep the promises it has made while avoiding the violence that has surrounded land reform in neighbouring Zimbabwe....."

Oh is that what it was in Zimbabwe? Land Reform? Try violent confiscation.

Journalism today is an absolute joke.

Namibia next.

Looks like the commies are in full force in S. Africa... the FIFA (soccer) should think twice about having their showcase event in S.A. in 2010.

MASS DARWIN AWARD IN THE MAKING...!

[gaijin]

Proudly brought to you from the land of government pronouncements like, "HIV doesn't cause AIDS..!" !

The stab in the back this country gave to South Africa in the 1980s should never be forgotten. Congress imposed, over a Reagan veto, sanctions on behalf of a communist party. (ANC) South Africa is now on the path of Zimbabwe and they will no doubt have similar 'achievements' in the future. Another example of democracy being given to those not ready for it.

At least they are trying to negociate and give compensation. If the land was taken from people, then it should be returned to the family of those people. If the land was unowned, then the current farmers should remain. All the farmers should be given fair compensation for their farms.

The Agriculture and Land Affairs Minister, Lulu Xingwana, said the deadline was necessary to speed up the transfer of farms to black people who were forcibly removed from their land under apartheid.

What everyone says about upcoming mass starvation is likely correct, but what is the appropriate remedy for these wronged people?

[Chewbacca]

Self-induced starvation thy name is Africa.

[Question_Assumptions]

Why? Because one famine-wrecked Hell-hole in southern Africa just isnt' enough.

[colrpfournier]

...Agriculture and Land Affairs Minister, Lulu Xingwana...

Xingwana really came up with a Lulu this time!

Black South Africans will be singing a "Cry Thy Beloved Country " very soon. This once great nation in Dark Africa will be converted to a Zimbabwean paradise before the populace knows it.

Time for liberal America to pat itself on the back for helping to reduce this once highly productive nation to a scrap heap by goading for "sanctions."

A fairly recent poll of South Africans indicated that a majority would return to the rule by the previous minority government.

This declining country now boasts of statistics like: every 10 minutes a child under 10 is being raped.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Families removed from farms generations ago often do not have documents. Family trees have to be constructed to see who is entitled to a share.

Which groups are they mentioning, here? Is it the blacks that don't have the documents, the whites? The Africans? The Dutch? The British? Do these documents actually mean anything after all of this time?

The fact that the land issue hasn't been resolved in ten years makes me believe that those in power NEVER want it to be resolved. They need it as a political tool.

Is the pendulum going to keep swinging back and forth... help the black South Africans... help the white South Africans, all with years of decay and death in between?
