RE: Land Expropriation Without Compensation...A Justified Thing?

in #politics7 years ago

black people were “brutally taken from their land” and that the “wounds still run deep”.Why is the government eager to expropriate land?What are the proposed changes to the Constitution?that they are doing this?.There is no certainty on which land has been earmarked for purposes of expropriation. Residential, agricultural, communal or urban land might be up for expropriation.The land reform failures have resulted in most farms and estates still being owned by white people. A land audit undertaken by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform in 2017 shows whites own 72% of SA’s farm and agricultural land.More than two decades after white-minority rule ended in South Africa, most of its profitable farms and estates are still owned by white people, and about 95 percent of the country’s wealth is in the hands of 10 percent of the population.
