South Africa politics: Land ownership a key issue ahead of election


Many South African voters express concern about land redistribution as the wealth gap widens. Some believe land access could alleviate poverty, but criticise ANC’s slow action.

  1. ANC was captured long before the first democratic elections in 1994. It is now 30 years later and our country’s economy and land still under the minority whites. The land dispossession of 1910 is still not being discussed, apartheid displacement laws hasn’t been addressed and 30 years of corrupt and captured anc has not addressed this issue at all.

  2. This only happens in Africa, because truth be told they are very stupid useless cowardly people. They need to have courage and vote out the sell out ANC and stop allowing the white minority to divide you.

  3. Very good question? Why having SA government giving their land to civilians? Because government workers used it to charge rent to fill their back pockets with cash

  4. You cannot give land to all those that are living in poverty for the simple reason that will destroy huge farms and our export market what then? The real problem which nobody wants to talk about is overpopulation.

  5. The land that was taken by black South Africans when they murdered white farmers has not been used and all the farming equipment was sold because blacks don’t know how to farm.

  6. Go ahead South Africa, your already heading towards failed state status, go ahead and kick out the wealthy and educated whites/Asians needed to keep the country running, imao, I'm sure it will fix everything and all the corruption of the black ANC government.

  7. More than half our farmers have actually left over the past decade , and nothing much has changed for the poor and landless . It’s a dreadful mess and very very sad .

  8. The British handled the decolonisation of Kenya much more pragmatically than the boers/afrikaners are doing. they agreed to be bought out and left , many couldn’t also imagine being neighbours with black people but the government stood firm . Go go SA ! Hold fast…don’t relent , it’s even just being gracious that we are paying for what was taken for free.

  9. When Zimbabwé did all whites supremacists imperialists nations in EU ,UNITED STATES,UK put heavy sanctions on ZIMBABWÉ to collapse their economy.
    But South Africa isn’t Zimbabwé ,South Africa is BRICS member

  10. Do not repeat the same mistake Zimbabwe did. No forceful seizure of land without compensate. And only distribute land to those people who have the necessary skill to operate the required enterprises on the land.

  11. What that fool is basically saying is white arnt allowed in south africa and its a black only nation… i wonder how they feel about the jewish only nation of israel? Supportive?
