Land expropriation without compensation shock revealed! ANC regime publishes charade bill on expropriation without compensation

Posted on Leave a comment

The leader of the Afrikaner Self-Determination Party has strongly opposed the ANC over the government’s rate of land expropriation.

The shocking revelation was made in the media this past weekend that the ANC had just published a charade bill on expropriation without compensation for public comment. The media revealed that Dr Mathole Motshekga of the ANC acknowledged that the ANC had published this facade so that it did not cause too much opposition before the real bill was tabled in parliament.

In terms of the true bill, according to Motshekga, the courts will have no power to decide on the legality of the ANC’s intended expropriations without compensation.

Motshekga stated that, in the opinion of the ANC, the court process is taking too long and that the ANC government as elected government should have the final say on expropriations without compensation.

The entire concept of expropriation without compensation that the ANC

First major illegal land invasions of 2020 commence in Tshwane’s Silverlakes and Boschkop areas

Posted on Leave a comment

Following the first major land invasions of 2020 in Tshwane’s Silverlakes and Boschkop areas, business organisation Sakeliga today issued a warning to business and the public to guard against increasingly shrewd land invasion tactics by the EFF.

Over the course of several days this week, small groups of land invaders claiming to be from the EFF attempted to seize land held by developers to the North East of Pretoria. Striking at several sites around Silverlakes and Boschkop in the Tshwane area, invaders sought to clear “stands” on the properties, even naming these future settlements “Winnie Mandela View” with apparently at least three extensions thereto.

EFF reveals new tactics
While swift legal action and co-operation with the police have so far been holding the invaders at bay, increasingly sophisticated invasion tactics are complicating legal action and eviction. We point to two factors to be considered by property owners guarding ag

Its still theft, no matter what you call it! ANC regime continues land expropriation without compensation policy

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA is preparing to assist landowners in expropriation cases without compensation. This follows after the discussions with the ad hoc committee appointed by Parliament to submit proposals on how Art. 25 of the constitution – which deals with expropriation without compensation – must be amended.

“It is clear that the committee’s focus is solely on how the law should be amended, and not what the consequences of the amendments will be,” said Mr. Louis Meintjes, the president of TAU SA. “Any input from stakeholders representing farmers is simply dismissed as irrelevant.”

“It is extremely worrying that aspects such as effects on the economy, investment uncertainty, ratings by credit agencies and most importantly, food security, bear no weight in this process. The only matter of importance is that land should be expropriated despite multiple examples of how it failed because of corruption, ignorance and greed. I

TAU SA: Draconian idea of ​​expropriation without compensation by ANC regime cannot continue – South Africa and its inhabitants too precious to implement dangerous policies that threaten fundamental economic and other structures and systems in the country

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA, once again, as part of the ad hoc group focusing on the government’s expropriation without compensation, has just met again to reflect on the matter.

The convener of the Ad hoc group, Mr. Jaco Schoeman said at the last meeting that the future of South Africa and its inhabitants was too precious to allow the draconian idea of ​​expropriation to continue without compensation.

In the face of worsening poverty and rising unemployment, the government persists in its pursuit of harmful and dangerous policies that provide no solutions to the socio-economic issues facing South Africa. On the contrary, policies such as expropriation without compensation further undermine fundamental economic and other structures and systems in the country and pose an enormous threat to economic and accompanying social progress.

Once again, concerns have been expressed that the government is pursuing the policy of land expropriation without compensation

There is no turning back! Ramaphosa agrees with Malema on expropriation without compensation

Posted on Leave a comment

The president downplayed the EFF leader’s suggestion that he adopted the policy for votes without ‘meaning it’

In his reply to the debate in parliament that followed his third state of the nation (Sona) address, President Cyril Ramaphosa downplayed Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema’s accusation that the president and ANC adopted the policy of land expropriation without compensation for votes, without “meaning it”.

“I agree with honourable Malema that we will not solve the social ills confronting South Africa without addressing the question of land,” he said.

He then committed to making good on delivering changes to the constitution which would explicitly allow for expropriation without compensation.

“Parliament will have to deal with the Land Expropriation Without Compensation Bill to achieve agrarian reform and spatial justice. We want to make all rights visible,” Ramaphosa said.

“Given the

Ace Magashule: We’ll confiscate the assets of white South Africans – He sketched a kind of Marxist-Leninist future for the country in which private property, banks and industries will be nationalised and “Africanised”

Posted on Leave a comment

Last month the ANC secretary general, Ace Magashule, who has himself been accused of large-scale corruption, stated that the assets of white South Africans will be confiscated without compensation. He sketched a kind of Marxist-Leninist future for the country in which private property, banks and industries will be nationalised and “Africanised”.

“Our people demand service delivery, sustainable jobs, efficient health services, and an accountable government,” he said in a speech loaded with rhetoric while delivering the annual Walter Sisulu memorial lecture in Bloemfontein in the Free State.

Their hope still lay with the ANC, which dare not betray them. The people were refusing to be subtenants and squatters in the land of their birth. This was the current challenge – to better the quality of life of the people, and this could only be done when the ANC remained an unapologetic fighting force, he said.

“We must increase the capacity of

Squatters erected illegal informal settlement on Stellenbosch wine farm – Illegal Land grab shows people who are desperate for the land are not prepared to wait

Posted on Leave a comment

As the ANC promises to move forward with its plans to rework land expropriation without compensation into the Constitution, the party’s supporters are tired of waiting, and are taking things into their own hands.

A new exposé by the New York Times has highlighted how farm land in Stellenbosch has been occupied by squatters who are tired of waiting around for the national government to deliver on its land promises.

Between March and August 2018, land belonging to a wine farm owner near Kayamandi, was occupied by the squatters and a new informal settlement was erected.

According to the paper, while the courts have ordered that the squatters vacate the land, the informal settlement remains. Those who led the charge to occupy the land said it was done out of desperation and frustration with the slow rate of land reform.

The municipality is negotiating to purchase the land from the owner, Stefan Smit, and has reportedly already moved to sup

Poor little Thandi Modise states that ‘Black Farmers Do Better Than White Farmers In South Africa”, but your farm failed (photo’s)

Posted on Leave a comment

The National Council of Provinces chairperson Thandi Modise believes that AfriForum’s decision to privately prosecute her for animal cruelty is to advance the narrative of the failure of black farmers.

The lobby group and the SPCA announced on Thursday it would pursue the case.

Modise believes that AfriForum is targeting her to show that black people can’t farm and the case has emerged now when Parliament is embarking on a process related to land expropriation without compensation.

Modise said that in reality ‘black farmers do better than white farmers in South Africa”.

But AfriForum says it was the SPCA which approached them in November last year while Parliament’s process was adopted in February this year.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel is eager to get back into a courtroom.

“Mr Mangwale and his team did a steely work in locating the witnesses in enhancing the case, consulting with experts.”

Nel hopes to have t

White Farmer Seeks Asylum with His Family at the US Border with Mexico – First in South African History

Posted on Leave a comment

While South Africa is a troubled country in turmoil, few are aware that the fear white South Africans live in, has reached beyond our borders. A white South African farmer and his family asked for asylum at the US border with Mexico.

They were kept at a Mexican holding for three weeks for protection before meeting with the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). They have undergone extensive grilling and interviews. They had to do a credible fear test, which they passed. That is right, their fear is real.

The white farmer has a minor daughter that was interviewed without the presence of her parents. Currently, the family resides with friends in the US after the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) concluded the fa

IMPORTANT UPDATE:- Land expropriation in 2019: What’s next for South Africa?

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.

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.
