Really bad news came out today as the Joint Constitutional Review Committee ruled in favor of changing the constitution so that land expropriation can go ahead. The vote was passed by 12 votes to 4. This is not good for what may lie ahead. I don't trust anything they say so it could still work out fine or be a total disaster. I tend to go with the latter as we have seen what they are capable of doing.
It was announced that nothing will happen until after the elections next year. This is one way of stalling yet again to try get them another 4 years in power. A massive carrot to bribe the voters. i am hoping that they hand out land that is vacant and don't try herd the white farmers away. If that happens it will have serious implications not right now, but in a few years to come as there will be food shortages.
What I find worrying is how easy it was to change the constitution. This sets a precedent for future things that they can bend the rules to suit themselves. I don't care what anyone says this is a dictatorship at the moment and is sending the country in one direction. If this continues they will join the list of the African countries lying in ruin.
Funny enough Namibia has announced that they to would like to do this for their people and will start discussing their land expropriation to commence sometime next year.!

u r talking about Namibia... didn't know what you were talking about
Been doing posts on south Africa with the Government seizing land. Namibia has also announced they are going to copy South Africa as well now. Have you not heard about this and what has been going on?
no clue bro... the world is full of too much info, we are all on a diff. script
There is a lot going on I know lol. Basically the government changed the constitution to make it legal to take land from the farmers. There has been all sorts of games going on and hundreds of farmers have been murdered. This could spark racial violence leading to civil war depending on which way this plays out.

This is such bad news for all involved. The interest shown in this issue by the international community shows us all in South Africa that we are on our own. The current government explained again that it will make sure that there will be no chaos when this is done but looking at other countries that tried the same...….no real hope of that happening. The biggest worry for most people here is not about farming land. It is about a place to stay in an area where there are jobs so you can provide for your family. Staying on a farm in the middle of nowhere trying to eek out a living in one of the most difficult professions in the world is not for everyone, but the ruling party has made this an issue to silence the people that splintered from it. Good luck to all involved and may we be blessed by you making the right decision for our beautiful country!
howdy sir cryptoandcoffee! oh no, that would be more disaster on top of disaster. It makes you wonder if these people are mentally ill!
They are purely driven by greed and it is purely an act of survival to stay in power.
