South Africa's president declares it is time to 'correct a past wrong' by grabbing land from white farmers as £10m hunting lodge is targeted for seizure by the state

President Cyril Ramaphosa wants to take land from white farmers to redistribute
Johan Steenkamp and Arnold Cloete own the Akkerland Boerdery hunting range
They have only been offered £1million for their farm, a tenth of the price
Mr Steenkamp said he was 'given seven days to hand over the keys to his farm'
He has now obtained an injunction to prevent the seizure and will go to court

South Africa's president has declared it is time to 'correct a past wrong' by seizing land from white farmers - and a £10million family ranch is among his first targets.

President Cyril Ramaphosa wants to take lands from white farmers without compensation and redistribute them to black farmers to make up for the injustice of apartheid.

He said at a farmers' conference on Monday that land reform was necessary to 'correct a past wrong.'

'It has required that we confront the injustices of the past, acknowledge our weaknesses and shortcomings, and seek a sustainable path towards a just and inclusive future,' Ramaphosa said.

'This is the time for South Africans to find each other, not fight each other.'

Since the 1994 end of apartheid - a system of racial segregation - the South African ruling party has followed a 'willing-seller, willing-buyer' model under which the government buys white-owned farms for redistribution to black farmers.

But progress has been slow and it appears Ramaphosa wants to more vigorously force the pace of change.

His government has begun the process of seizing farms where negotiations over compensation have failed.

I wonder how good Ramaphosa's 'just and sustainable future' is going to to feel on an empty stomach.

If they lose at court- highly likely, I would think, seems like inviting every single white person in SA with guns to come and bunkerize it might be the only way to keep it. Go full Alamo except with modern weapons and tactics.

Include the SA military, police, and every entity that wants to see this madness end. There will come a day in the not too distant future where being white in SA will become too dangerous to stay.

The only other option would be to destroy their own property to deny the locusts from obtaining it. Burn every structure, fill every well with concrete, flatten every fence. Pull oil plugs and run every engine to slag. Make it as worthless is it would become with just a bit more time from the new owners.

as has happened elsewhere, they'll redistribute the land to people who have no idea what they're doing, or the will to do it, and it'll be dustbowl and starvation a few years down the road.
