CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa took a step on Tuesday to hasten the transfer of land from white to black owners when parliament backed a motion seeking to change the constitution to allow land expropriation without compensation.
The ruling African National Congress has long promised reforms to redress racial disparities in land ownership and the subject remains highly emotive more than two decades after the end of apartheid. Whites still own most of South Africa’s land following centuries of brutal colonial dispossession.
Tuesday’s motion was brought by the radical left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party but was supported by the ANC, which controls almost two-thirds of the parliament compared with EFF’s 6 percent.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said after his inauguration two weeks ago that he would speed up the transfer of land to black people although he stressed that food production and security must be preserved.
Launching a debate on the motion in parliament, EFF leader Julius Malema said “it was time for justice” on the land issue.
“We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land,” he said.
The motion was passed by 241 votes in favor versus 83 votes against. Parliament then instructed a committee to review the constitution and report back to it by Aug. 30.
It was not clear when any change to Section 25 of the constitution to allow expropriation of land without compensation would take place. Together, the ANC, EFF and other small opposition parties could muster the two-thirds majority needed for a constitutional change.
In a nutshell, they're going to take land that whites have developed from NOTHINGNESS and hand it to blacks who couldn't grow a carrot before the British and Dutch arrived and still can't grow one now a couple of hundred years later. This of course was all completely foreseeable and predictable to anybody not caught up in the Nelson Mandela - who is a terrorist - crap.
The Boer and Afrikanner people now only have two options, one is to burn the farms down and flee and the other (for many unavoidable) is going down with guns. Meanwhile, the world watches on as South Africa becomes another African basketcase like neighbouring Zimbabwe.
A race war is coming and we hear NOTHING from those who were all for ending apartheid despite the fucking obvious staring at them in the face.
