(President)Jacob Zuma Calls For Confiscation Of White Land Without Compensation (South Africa)
The Telegraph (UK) ^ | 3-3-2017 | Stuart Graham

Posted on 03/06/2017 5:31:21 AM PST by blam

President Jacob Zumahas called on parliament to change South Africa’s constitution to allow the expropriation of white owned land without compensation.

Mr Zuma, 74, who made the remarks in a speech yesterday/FRI morning, said he wanted to establish a “pre-colonial land audit of land use and occupation patterns” before changing the law.

“We need to accept the reality that those who are in parliament where laws are made, particularly the black parties, should unite because we need a two-thirds majority to effect changes in the constitution,” he said.

Mr Zuma, who has lurched from one scandal to another since being elected to office in 2009, has adopted a more populist tone since his ruling African National Congress (ANC) party suffered its worst election result last August since the end of apartheid in 1994.

The party lost the economic hub of Johannesburg, the capital Pretoria and the coastal city of Port Elizabeth to the moderate Democratic Alliance party, which already held the city of Cape Town.

The ANC is also under pressure from the radical Economic Freedom Fighters, led by Julius Malema.

Mr Malema has been travelling the country urging black South Africans to take back land from white invaders and "Dutch thugs".

He told parliament this week that his party wanted to “unite black people in South Africa” to expropriate land without compensation.

“People of South Africa, where you see a beautiful land, take it, it belongs to you,” he said. Although progress has been made in transferring property to black South Africans, land ownership is believed to be skewed in favour of whites more than 20 years after the end of apartheid.

Who didn't see this one coming?

Get the white farmers off their land and soon South Africa will be importing all of its food. Good times for all.

The Zulu did not arrive until after the Dutch, so that should eliminate them from getting land. Xhosa & Bushmen?

Pre-colonial land use and occupation patterns. Swinging from vines. Making necklaces from human and animal bones. Enticing cattle to urinate on their heads so that their hair turns orange (Note to NFL: check out how your ancestors pulled off that trick and it has nothing to do with genetics.)

If my land was expropriated after hundreds of years, I’m afraid I’d have to return it in its pre colonial condition

Savages thinking they can just take over the hard work, ingenuity and property of others and just continue likewise.

In the end it destroys production, incentive and relegates the country to what it was before those people came.

"In the end it destroys production, incentive and relegates the country to what it was before those people came."

I remember what happened in Zimbabwe.

Blacks took over a very successful farm and sold all the irrigation equipment as scrap metal and shortly were starving again.

You wouldn’t need to — Give it a little time and it’s going to be there without your help.

French sci-fi novel, “The Other She of the Coin”, aka:

“The Planet of the Apes”...there was a theme to the story paralleling modern society
