THE South African government has begun the process of seizing land from white farmers.
Local newspaper City Press reports two game farms in the northern province of Limpopo are the first to be targeted for unilateral seizure after negotiations with the owners to purchase the properties stalled.
While the government says it intends to pay, owners Akkerland Boerdery wanted 200 million rand ($18.7 million) for the land theyre being offered just 20 million rand ($1.87 million).
Notice is hereby given that a terrain inspection will be held on the farms on April 5, 2018 at 10am in order to conduct an audit of the assets and a handover of the farms keys to the state, a letter sent to the owners earlier this year said.
Akkerland Boerdery obtained an urgent injunction to prevent eviction until a court had ruled on the issue, but the Department of Rural Development and Land Affairs is opposing the application.
What makes the Akkerland case unique is that they apparently were not given the opportunity to first dispute the claim in court, as the law requires, AgriSA union spokeswoman Annelize Crosby told the paper.
These farms are on the goverment's #farmlist that @afriforum exposed. And yet government still denies that the list exists... but it is now clear that government is lying to the public. https://t.co/U40G0U1GIv Kallie Kriel (@kalliekriel) August 19, 2018
It comes as the South African government pushes ahead with plans to amend the countrys constitution to allow for the expropriation of land without compensation.
The seizures are intended to test the ability of the government to take land under existing laws, which the ruling African National Congress has previously stated is allowable if in the public interest.

Different government then...........................
The land is useless if people have no clue what to do with it
There is deep and pervasive evil loose in South Africa. Look up the name Mark Minnie, and his recently released book, The Lost Boys of Bird Island. The evil in SA goes way back. Mark was murdered on Monday last week. We spoke with him on Sat/Sunday before he was murdered on Monday.
Take the money, and RUN.
Cry, the Beloved Country - The Sequel
Before the land is stolen, the farmers should salt the earth. so nothing grows there for a very long time.
“negotiations with the owners”
It’s not a negotiation when you know they’ll take your property anyway, and then kill you afterwards.
bammy needs to be asked why he encouraged this during his recent visit in July.
No need to go to that extreme, the ones running SA couldn’t make the land produce food anyway. If that land ever feeds S Africans again it will be worked by ‘hired farmers’.
The Communists did not even attempt this in Poland.
They realized it would get too bloody.
Let me guess. The International Media will be either completely silent about this racist theft or will barely cover it at all. There will be no protests about it from those who were opposed to apartheid for its overt racism.
The U.S. policy of Constructive Engagement in the 1980’s worked to achieve its goals and without that policy, South Africa would still be under Apartheid.
South Africa would have been much better of with Chief Buthelezi than with Mandela.
Meanwhile, in Zimbabwe.....

Salting the earth was merely ceremonial anyway. Like putting a curse on it. Salting an entire farm would be prohibitively expensive. Especially back in roman days.
And there is little risk the ANC could raise a single harvest anyway.
“is that they apparently were not given the opportunity to first dispute the claim in court, as the law requires”
Laws? What laws? Whose laws?
There won’t BE any laws regarding property except “whatever Whitey got, it be ours”.
South Africa is now a racist terrorocracy devolving to African Tribalism and the next stop is wholesale racist slaughter.
So ask yourselves this: what do you think the Mexican Mestizos flooding into the U.S. have in mind for the hated Gringos?
Exactly.
Different COLOR government then......................
But you see there were almost no blacks in the far south of South Africa. That bit of history has been erased.
