Land expropriation in 2019: What’s next for South Africa – The promise of free land in SA has pandered directly to the populist vote and the majority, being led to believe that free land will end the shackles of poverty

Posted on Leave a comment

With parliamentary processes ready to resume in 2019, the issue of land expropriation in South Africa enters its final Constitutional hurdle.

Land expropriation without compensation – the loaded term which elicits varied fervent responses from the South African public – will, once again, prove its socio-political impetus in 2019. Last year, the land question divided citizens in spectacular fashion, even provoking a response from US President Donald Trump.

Land expropriation without compensation
Two opposite emotional responses lie at the very centre of the land debate; panic and promise. The ruling African National Congress (ANC), supported, in part, by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has openly announced its support of Constitutional amendments to accelerate land reform as a means of practical socioeconomic redress.

The promise of land – free land – has pandered directly to the populist vote. The disenfranchised majority, bei

East Transvaal farmer says ANC government will be sorry if they plan to take his land without compensation

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC government of Cyril Ramaphosa will be very sorry if they decide to take the land of a farmer from the Eastern Transvaal without compensation.

The farmer, who prefers to remain anonymous, has decided that his farm’s value will drop drastically if the government decides to take its land.

He says there are many ways in which the farm can be made “useless”, because if they want to take land, they can do it, but before that day finally arrives, his farm will be “converted into a piece of land that will be useless for a very long time ”.

Asked what he was going to do, there was apparently only a mischievous smile on the open, honest face of a man who built his place with hard work.

“One of the first things that can be done is to burn off all the buildings, and to destroy the fields where crops are standing, to break up dam walls, to destroy windmills and boreholes, but that’s not all …” he s

ANC’s ground theft program are petrifying farmers and they are now making plans to protect themselves from total bankruptcy

Posted on Leave a comment

Unconfirmed reports say farmers are now exporting money to foreign banks, fearing that Ramaphosa can also confiscate it.

After all, farmers are also beginning to sell their equipment and transfer the money to foreign banks  for the purpose of buying or renting land elsewhere, but not in South Africa or Namibia.

Information received from farmers who prefer to stay anonymous says they are receiving offers from around the world to farm at attractive conditions.

Farmers believe there is no prospect for farming in South Africa, because your property can be taken away from you every day, and then they are seated without a future.

Agricultural experts are worried that the new trend will lead to a crisis in food production, and that untrained black farmers will throw in the towel  if the natural disasters hit them.

This could lead to an overall depopulation of rural areas, which has catastrophic consequences for everyone in the country.<

South Africa can face food shortage with the Ramaphosa regime’s landgrab actions – Farmers unwilling to sow or plant because they are afraid of financial implications

Posted on Leave a comment

With the inability of the Ramaphosa regime to clearly understand what farmers are facing from the when the landgrab action that will soon begin, farmers are worried that they will face financial ruin.

The different scenarios are analysed one after the other, one of which makes farmers unwilling to sow or to plant.

The farmers believe the risk is too high to harvest land and then the government confiscates the land for the benefit of the so-called new owner.

The second source of concern is who will be responsible for the exercise that has to be undertaken and who is responsible for the mortgage on the farm.

Even though only a portain of the farm is being taken under the land expropriation action, the problem remains the same. Farmers would rather no longer incur any costs, fearing that they should pay the costs without the income on the ground.

If political leaders of the ANC regime ignore all fears, or reject it as speculation, the
