‘Your time is up’ South Africa sets date for white farmer land grabs – March 2019

Crucible Commentary: South Africa has been a failed state since the dismantling of Apartheid in 1994 with the African National Congress assuming absolute power. South Africa has the world’s largest HIV/AIDS epidemic. Interpol has dubbed South Africa the “rape capital” of the world. White South African farmers panicked when Cyril Ramaphosa assumed office earlier this year and committed his African National Congress (ANC), a former Communist network, to land confiscation. It is difficult to ascertain an official count of white South African farmers killed in recent violent crime waves. Numerous Legacy Cable media networks claim it is racist to even suggest the attacks occur. In neighboring Zimbabwe, violent land seizures authorized by Robert Mugabe in the 1990s sent the country into a spiral of decline from which it has never recovered.

I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.” @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews

‘Your time is up’ South Africa sets date for white farmer land grabs – March 2019

SOUTH Africa has set a date for when its much-criticised land expropriations can begin after a politician declared: “Your time is up, white people.”

The country’s National Assembly approved a proposal to change the constitution to make the so-called reforms legal in a vote of 183 to 77.
This paves the way for land to be taken from farmers without giving any kind of compensation.
And now lawmakers have agreed to set up a committee that will write and introduce a new bill for land expropriations.
A deadline of the end of March next year for the committee to present its first report to parliament has also been agreed.
But there were heated scenes in the House when politicians clashed over the plans.
According to local reports, Economic Freedom Fighters MP Hlengiwe Mkhaliphi argued land grabs must go ahead as she declared:

“Your time is up, white people”.

This came as the IFP MP Mkhuleko Hlengwa said the plans undermine South Africa’s position as a democratic state.
According to the Daily Maverick, he said: “To achieve real and effective land reform is (possible) under the existing Constitution, not your (ANC) populist agenda.
“You should be ashamed of yourself.”
However, the ruling ANC’s Chief Whip Jackson Mthembu dismissed the controversy, saying land reforms are “the right thing to do”.
It is believed that when South Africa’s Constitution is amended, it could be done by inserting into Section 25 the phrase: “Zero compensation may be regarded as just and equitable”.
South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has previously defended his radical plans, saying they are necessary for equality.
