South Africa votes to confiscate white-owned land

Where’s the liberal outrage?  Oh yeah, crimes against white people don’t count.  This would only be seen for the racist and communist action it is if the crime were committed by whites.  Instead, it will be portrayed as a correction of an earlier crime… by whites.

from Russia Today: ‘Time for reconciliation over’: South Africa votes to confiscate white-owned land

South Africa’s new president, Cyril Ramaphosa

“The South African parliament voted on Tuesday in favor of a motion seeking to change the constitution to allow white-owned land expropriation without compensation.

The motion, which was brought by Julius Malema – the leader of the radical Marxist opposition party, the Economic Freedom Fighters – passed by a wide margin of 241 votes to 83 against…

“The time for reconciliation is over. Now is the time for justice,” Malema told the parliament. “We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land.”

The president of farmers’ group the Transvaal Agricultural Union, Louis Meintjes, warned the country risks going down the same route as Zimbabwe, which plunged into famine [and the world’s worst economic hyperinflationary collapse] after a government-sanctioned purge of white farmers in the 2000s.

“Where in the world has expropriation without compensation coupled to the waste of agricultural land, resulted in foreign confidence, economic growth and increased food production?” Meintjes said, as cited by Australia’s news.com.au.

“If Mr Ramaphosa is set on creating an untenable situation, he should actively create circumstances which will promote famine. His promise to expropriate land without compensation sows the seed for revolution. Expropriation without compensation is theft.”
