South African White Farmers' Land to be Seized in Controversial Land Redistribution Claim

[Honeycombe8]

8. Seems like a coal mining company wants that land.

Hate to hear that. First, it'll destroy the land. Second, it's a dying industry.

But yeah...the govt is not going to just "give" land away, and certainly not to the poor blacks.

What's disturbing is it seems as if companies and tribes are going around claiming land, and the white landowners have little or no say in disputing the claim.

Oh, well...I don't know enough about it, really. Not my country. But once apartheid was repealed, I probably would have moved elsewhere, if I were a white farmer there, knowing that the origin of much of the land was stolen, and the lives it devastated.

Although, there, like here with immigrants, generations of whites had lived there and those people had nothing to do with what had happened, and were citizens of the African country and knew no other country as home.

This is what happens when you go around invading places and stealing land.
