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.

Time to Boycott South Africa.
Interesting side story. White farmers are seriously considering a move to Russia. There they would form farming communities and make fertile fallow land productive. Russia was once the breadbasket of Europe. The Afrikaner farmers will do well there and help re vitalize Russia.
thats the sort of thing our 2nd amendment is for. Wonder how many here though would actually fight with arms to prevent this from happening.
Without that policy, South Africa would still be prosperous.
The rise of the current racist kakistocracy coincided with the fall of Apartheid.
Funny how it works that way.
LOL, they can call them the “Volga Afrikaners”.
I watch some youtube videos on it and it seems surreal. The whites try and try to negotiate but the black leaders are out in public saying: “We’re not going to kill the whites.... yet”. Kind of like it is here.
Even the liberals in SA are getting concerned. The whole article is worth reading for a different viewpoint. And it is strange seeing black people called black instead of African Americans.
“Dont start begging for money when there is a famine in the next several years.”
I don’t think that it will take ‘several years’, I think that it will take maybe 2 years tops.
And lest there be any doubt as to what I’m saying:
YES. THE WHITE MINORITY RULE “APARTHEID” GOVERNMENT WAS MANIFESTLY SUPERIOR TO THE PRESENT BLACK MAJORITY RACIST GOVERNMENT.
Facts.
They just won’t go away.
The whites have had years to prepare for this.
Seeing that SA will turn into Zimbabwe in three years anyway, I’d take the offer and then burn the place down and salt the fields.

Somewhere there is a video of a black US Congresswoman, in a speech on the House floor, calling them 'African-American Africans'......................
I have a feeling that South Africas growing wine industry will soon crumble under this fascism. Too bad as South Africa is producing some world class wines. South Africa will soon join Zimbabwe and Venezuela as socialist dung heaps
This one is.
Ironically, South Africa has their own “invasion” to worry about as many from across the continent are illegally entering the country.
South Africa’s economy is, at least for now, still light years ahead of any other country on the continent.
The written article makes the situation look much nicer than the reality. Readers who want a peek at the truth should watch the video behind the link.
They did see it coming. The apartment complex I lived in over 20 years ago was full of white South Africans who had fled the country.
South Africa is driving itself toward disaster of enormous proportions.
There is some hope that Zimbabwe is pulling itself back from the brink, but time will tell.
