Expropriation- Farmland to be Seized Without Compensation in South
conservativefiringline.com ^ | 10/13/2022 | Faye Higbee

In the US Constitution, there is a clause that prevents the government from taking your property without just compensation (Article 5). In recent years that has been called into question in various court cases. But still, in America, the government must pay you for taking your real property — at least they are supposed to. That is not the case in South Africa, where a new law was passed that demands land owners give up their land for seizure by the government. It is called the Expropriation Bill. The new bill awaits approval from the National Council of Provinces, and the signature of President Cyril Ramaphosa. (The Epoch Times)

“Expropriation without compensation”

The vast majority of farmland in South Africa is owned by White farmers. In recent years, mobs of Africans have murdered hundreds of White farmers, including their families. The government has called for “redistribution” of the land in revenge for the taking of land when the Dutch arrived in Captetown in 1652. It’s the practice of unscrambling eggs… and it sounds very much like the narrative of Black Lives Matter here in the states. The South African call for ‘reparations’ includes demands for seizure of land. And it has been a bloody call for several years.

That should work out as well as the takeover in Rawanda. Haven't heard from FReeper Kathy Buckles(?)in a long time who, IIRC, had a farm and lived there when that was happening. Massive crop failures, also, IIRC.

After the seizures, the radicals will blame white farmers for the food shortages. It will be like Zimbabwe - run the farmers off their land, experience food shortages, the US sends in surplus food so the people don’t starve and then the farmers are invited back in.

Perhaps it was Zimbabwe I was thinking of and our FReeper. It’s been a while. Anyone? Bueller?

All white South Africans must immediately be given refugee status and moved to the USA. Wall the dark continent off from the rest of the civilized world and leave them to their natural state… swatting flies and banging bush monkeys. Oh… we want our wheel back when we leave too.

There are rumblings of same in the U.S.

Backed by huge investments and bureaucratic edict, companies like Navigator are threatening to use eminent domain against landowners who refuse voluntary easements.

Private landowners in Iowa are encouraged by a recent court victory in Woodbury County amid battles to protect property rights. A judge ruled in early October that a carbon-capture pipeline company could not conduct a survey of a farm without the landowner’s consent.

How soon before land is appropriated from Whites in the U.S.?

“revenge for the taking of land”

No one took nothing.

The Zulus were far to the North and almost non-existent in terms of numbers. Kalahari Bushmen even less so.

The land was empty. No fences, no farms, no titles, no deeds, no nothing.

They took nothing. They created everything.

“But still, in America, the government must pay you for taking your real property”

Apparently the author never read about or interviewed any of the families ‘displaced’ by the TVA back in the 1930s.

It is ingrained in the African aboriginal mindset that white folks take the magic dirt with them .....

Truth and Consequences are of no concern to power hungry Fascists.

They are attempting the same model here in America.

Canada and Scandinavia are a few steps ahead of American Fascists.

Back in 2019, I went to South Africa for a couple of weeks, and this was a top five topic even at that time period.

So, several things about this deal. Unlike Zimbabwe...this land won’t be divided out into 100k lots. The gov’t intends to take x-amount of the property (orchards, vineyards, ranches, farmland) and simply assign it to some black citizen (who is assumed to be a family member or relative of a African National Congress member).

There is a belief among residents that there’s a list of all profitable operations and only the ultra successful properties will be taken.

Banks have told the government that this will unsettle the whole national structure....as present owners will just disappear into the night, and leave the banks stuck with loans...which the new owners will refuse to honor.

The wine labels or fruit orchard labels? There’s some belief that as the new owners try to get purchasers (in the EU or US) to buy their products....it’ll be challenged in court by the actual owners (kicked off the farms).

As for a food shortage coming out of this? Well....the new owners (as the gimmick starts up) aren’t believed to be competent in the job or requirements....so no one believes long-term...that this will work, and agricultural products will have to be imported into South Africa.

One odd thing I noticed in that visit...there was a congressional-like meeting going on and explanations given why property confiscation has to result in the government giving the previous owners something for their losses. None of the members of the African National Congress understood the concept and generally saw the land as being a government asset....the same being true for vineyards, wine production, etc.

If hundreds of Jews were being murdered anywhere in the world the story would dominate Western media, and Israel and/or the U.S. would have long since intervened militarily.

But these are whites, so Western media is silent.

It’s gonna go the way of Zimbabwe, so that’ll be grand. They’ll give the farms to those who don’t know how to work the land and people will starve.

IMO any S African white farmer/rancher should pack up his family and emigrate to the USA. Oh be sure to salt your farmland just before you leave for the airport.

Upon arriving in the USA those folks will be showered with gifts, ‘rights’, and just about anything they may want because after all, they are African-Americans!

Their warning came decades ago. Should have sold off and left then.

I read that after taking a white farmers land in Zimbabwe the first thing the new owners did was sell the irrigation system as scrap.

Right - because expropriating white people worked so well in Zimbabwe Rhodesia!

Why any white person is still there is beyond me.
I would leave everything.

I know three Rwandans that left, and are never going back. (Tutsi people)
