The leader of South Africa's opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party has launched his party's campaign for the upcoming local elections, promising to rescue citizens from poverty, unemployment and corrupt government.
Around 40,000 people turned up at Orlando Stadium in Soweto on Saturday displaying massive support for fiery EFF leader Julius Malema's promises to seize white-owned land without compensation and nationalise the banks.
The huge turnout was a shot across the bows of the ANC, which failed to fill a similar stadium during the launch of its own manifesto in the coastal city of East London two weeks ago.
"We are not chasing the whites away. We are saying you have too much land. We want you here in South Africa, but 80 percent of the land belongs to us," Malema told the crowd.
The white minority still holds the vast majority of farmland as well as a disproportionate share of the country's wealth.
The EFF is capitalising on black discontent over the perceived lack of change under the ANC government since the end of apartheid 22 years ago.

Sure. We want you, but we don’t want you to own anything I. Our country.
yeah, because the lands that were already seized are doing soooo well.
The natives can starve in the dark,just like Zimbabwe.
There’s still white people in South Africa?
Arm. Train. Organize. Fight.
It is the only thing racist black Marxists understand.
Fine, divide SA into half. Whites get the Western half, blacks get the Eastern. Build a huge wall right down the middle.
Awesome, should work out well.
Any white person remaining in SA is insane.
I think it is going to be worse for the white South Africans than it was for the white Rhodesians.
Zimbabwe 2.0
Sure Julius, it worked so well in Zimbabwe.
Rhodesia, Julius. It was once the bread basket of your continent.

I would think that given what happened in Zimbabwe started the same way, that there should be a preventative response to this thinking.
Even the threat of seizing property is going to send the value of it spiraling downward.
Not a bad idea. In Western South Africa, Blacks aren't a majority. Whites and Coloreds combined are actually a majority. And they are mostly Afrikaans speaking.
Only problem with your proposal is that it is not politically correct.
Starving people can be made to be very loyal or die. Food is weaponry in Africa. Culling the herd of those who disagree with your regime has been a favorite pastime on that continent for a thousand years.
Behold the future of your descendants if you are a white American.
The ones who saw reality when Zuma was elected left. The ones who.stayed either were too tied to the land or they lived behind walled gardens. The ones behind walled gardens will probably lose everything when their time comes.
