It was always going to come to this.
The corrupt ANC government just starved dozens of black miners to death to gain control over the diamond trade. The regime suffered a massive decline in popularity forcing it to cut deals even as it hiked welfare spending and taxes. The lights aren’t staying on and the South African regime outsourced its foreign policy to Iran and Qatar to wage a political war for Hamas at the UN. So what’s left? Going full Zimbabwe.
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday signed the Expropriation Bill into law.
In a statement, the Presidency said the Bill allows for local, provincial and national authorities “to expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons that seek, among others, to promote inclusivity and access to natural resources”.
The ANC in 2017 proposed constitutional changes to make it easier for the government to take land without paying for it and address racially skewed land ownership patterns dating back to colonial and white-minority rule.
The key difference between the repealed pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975 and the newly signed Expropriation Bill is that the court is given the right to award nil compensation in cases of expropriation of land.
So government seizure of land from white farmers to be turned over to ANC cronies. The ANC and its fellow terrorist and Communist allies will pretend that this is purely about race, but its leader didn’t become a tycoon through activism, but through targeted social justice of this kind, and the beneficiaries will be ANC cronies.
Those cronies will be even worse at managing the land than any random African person would be, so crops will fall and they’ll either run them into the ground or contract out farm management to foreign companies which will turn the black people on whose...

Going full Zimbabwe
Says it all in three words.
There have been reports of increasing numbers of South African white people, seeking to emigrate. With such blatant laws such as this, violating their rights, we can understand that.
And what’s up with South Africa not being able to keep the lights on? Have skilled workers who maintain infrastructure left, and nobody knows how to do such work?
Americans project their race issues onto South Africa.
Total different situation.
That is the plan for the United States.
Congrats. Enjoy starving.

South African just Flushed itself
Zimbabwe was the same situation, and that turned out so well.
“Peace has come to Zimbabwe!”
And I think there are restrictions on whites who want to leave South Africa.
Taking money out of South Africa is very difficult or impossible.
Otherwise, those farmers should burn it all to the ground on the way out.
Now what if the farmers were black and the whites were going to seize black owned farms........... global uproar
They are right on the way to the same destination of Rhodesia arrived to Zimbabwa.
Here’s another take from a South African source
Similar squishy, spineless justification - the new law doesn’t mean much, Gov’t can already expropriate land if wanted, means Govt must negotiate about sale of land, people shouldn’t over-react
In Africa, this does not instill confidence
trade embargoes
They’ll own all the land and it will just go back to nature because they’re to lazy to work
This reminds me of Jews in Nazi Germany.
Jews in Nazi Germany had difficulty getting money out of the country. They faced issues with trying to find countries which would accept them. We are seeing the same sort of situation with South African whites wanting to leave.
Sad to see history repeat itself.
Now, they won’t have to worry about that…
Zimbabwe is exactly what this will turn into, and for the same reason - land seizure doesn’t place the land in the hands of subsistence farmers, it places it in the hands of Party officials who will expect to get rich off of being absentee landlords. When that fails they will “allow” the survivors to return to their land as tenants to save them all from starvation. What happened in Zimbabwe was that starvation got there first.
Most the blacks came to South Africa of their own free will.
Most the death and carnage in South Africa is rival black groups killing each other and law enforcement and the military trying to break them up.
We supported Appardheit in the Cold War when they stood in the way of communist expansion in Africa.
Post Cold War, we dropped our allies i.e. threw them under the bus because it became cool to do so and U2s Bono told us to do that to be a “good person.”.
South Africa performed the first heart transplant. They had modern on par with the West universities, designed their own fighter jet... Today they have gangs set up road blocks and raping women in broad daylight, electricity brown outs and water outages are normal in the big cities. Progress the western media refuses to talk about.
