JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, March 3 (UPI) -- The South African government has warned white farmers their land could be seized if they try to stall efforts to buy it for redistribution.
All redistribution so far has been under a "willing buyer, willing seller" policy. But Tumi Seboka, regional lands commissioner for North West provinces, said this week that seizure is a possibility, The Telegraph reported.
"In all cases where negotiations are going to be stalled by intransigence and deliberate frustration of the restitution process by the current landowners, we are going to expropriate," she said.
In 1994, when the African National Congress ran in the first multi-racial elections, its leaders promised that land expropriated from blacks during the colonial and apartheid eras would be restored by 2008.
ANC leaders say expropriation would not be the equivalent of recent seizures of white-owned farms in Zimbabwe. The result there was a sharp drop in agricultural productivity.
Is Pelosi, Reid, Rangel et puke busy down there too?
So, in other words: you take what we offer you or we'll take it anyway.
uh-oh. . .Here we go again.
Soon to be another African wasteland.
"ANC leaders say expropriation would not be the equivalent of recent seizures of white-owned farms in Zimbabwe. The result there was a sharp drop in agricultural productivity."
See? Nothing at all to worry about...
Another land we will have to “bail out” when the inhabitants begin to starve to death.
Well, sure, why not?? After all, booting white farmers off their land in Zimbabwe has worked out so well . . . . . .
Yes, you're right. The position has now been well qualified.
Nothing to see here, folks. . .

i know, look at what happened to the "bread basket of africa"
Before the Afrikaners came to South Africa, there was no one living on the land. The blacks now in South Africa came there looking for jobs from the white men.
more or less, in Africa though Imminent Domain means you get to keep yur life or they might pay you in lead for your land.
For goodness sakes, S. Africans of goodwill and industrious natures should sell now and leave as fast as you can. The writing is on the wall for all to see.
Didn’t know that … will research.
Willing buyer, willing seller... or else! Sounds a lot like the mafia "deal you can't refuse".
South Africa can finish going down the tubes.
Let them twist in the wind. Of course, some how to the left, this will be Bush's fault.
And that's when the starvation begans, just like in Zimbabwe. Not because blacks can't farm, it's because the black leadership thugs take over and they don't know dip sheep about anything. They just want the immediate profits because they're basically gangsters. But they're black gangsters, so they get a free pass in the Western media.
