South African Parliament Votes to SEIZE White-owned Land   

“We are not calling for the slaughter of white people – at least for now”, Julius Malema…

 (Daily Mail) White  South African farmers will be removed from their land after a landslide vote in parliament.   The country’s constitution is now likely to be amended to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation, following a motion brought by radical Marxist opposition leader Julius Malema.    It passed by 241 votes for to 83 against after a vote on Tuesday, and the policy was a key factor in new president Cyril Ramaphosa’s platform after he took over from Jacob Zuma in February.

Mr Malema said the time for ‘reconciliation is over’. ‘Now is the time for justice,’  News24  reported. ‘We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land.’   Mr Malema has a long-standing commitment to land confiscation without compensation. In 2016 he told his supporters he was ‘not calling for the slaughter of white people – at least for now’.

A 2017 South African government audit found white people owned 72 per cent of farmland.    Rural affairs minister for the ruling African National Congress party said ‘The ANC unequivocally supports the principle of land expropriation without compensation’.    ‘There is no doubt about it, land shall be expropriated without compensation.’

Freedom Front Plus party leader Pieter Groenewald said the decision to strip white farmers of their land would cause ‘unforeseen consequences that is not in the interest of South Africa’.     The deputy chief executive of civil rights group Afriforum said the motion was a violation of agreements made at the end of apartheid. 

IS THIS THE FUTURE OF AMERICA?
