Cape Town – The National Assembly on Tuesday set in motion a process to amend the Constitution so as to allow for the expropriation of land without compensation.
The motion, brought by the EFF leader Julius Malema, was adopted with a vote of 241 in support, and 83 against. The only parties who did not support the motion were the DA, Freedom Front Plus, Cope and the ACDP. The matter will now be referred to the Constitutional Review Committee which must report back to Parliament by August 30............... Opening the debate on his motion, Malema said: "The time for reconciliation is over. Now is the time for justice." .........."You should not make the mistake that we want to oppress whites," he said. "We want to redress an historic injustice.........He urged the ANC to "develop a backbone of steel and stop speaking with a forked tongue". .........To Read More......
My Take - In the article it says they have to punish those who "stole" their land. There's a problem with that statement. None of these groups were there when white settled landed in South Africa. Almost all of the people who lived there were killed off by European borne diseases. The current black population migrated from other areas for economic reasons. None of this land was stolen from them. Now the economy they so desperately desired to control, and they're in power, they've turned this once economically thriving nation into a complete mess, and it's now going to get worse. I also find it interesting how many white South Africans who railed and marched against apartheid left for America not long after it was lifted and the ANC took over.
