President Jacob Zumahas called on parliament to change South Africa’s constitution to allow the expropriation of white owned land without compensation.
Mr Zuma, 74, who made the remarks in a speech yesterday/FRI morning, said he wanted to establish a “pre-colonial land audit of land use and occupation patterns” before changing the law.
“We need to accept the reality that those who are in parliament where laws are made, particularly the black parties, should unite because we need a two-thirds majority to effect changes in the constitution,” he said.
Quite an interesting development if the plans indeed become a reality. By confiscating lands from white landowners Mugabe turned Zimbabwe from one of the wealthiest African nations into one of the poorest. Considering how much the crime rate in South Africa has increased since the fall of the apartheid I can easily see the country ending up like Zimbabwe if the oppression of the white minority continues.
