Yes but unless there’s a full skills training plan in place, we will end up like Zimbabwe but there were no skills transfer to ensure farms continue to run properly and these new farmers know@what to do With their land #SouthAfrica
South Africa's new President announces his intent to take back farm land. Listen to me. This needs to happen. Black South Africans represent 79% of the nation, but only own 1.2% of the farm land. This is not OK. It was stolen during colonization & apartheid.pic.twitter.com/LqXP88cut0
South Africa's New President Announces Plan to Take Back Farm Land

Agreed. It should be a comprehensive program with a plan that works. However, they should not have that land.
-
I live here and my mom’s South African I know the history well. It’s long overdue and a brave move from
@CyrilRamaphosa. It’s disgusting to see no change since apartheid for the majority of the black population. The water crisis of showering in buckets is daily life for most Blks -

Oh no, not a repeat of
#Zimbabwe -
Why would it be? Land was returned by when all other Colonizers left. Zimbabwe was an anomally.
-
Did you see what happened in Zimbabwe? I don't want a repeat of that mess. While some see them as colonizers, I like Mandela choose to see white South Africans as sisters and brothers. Redistribute but also educate
-
Only Zimbabwe. Why was that the only Colonized country in Africa?
-
Are you asking if Zimbabwe was the only African nation which was a colony? At the start of the 20th century almost all African Nations were colonised by some European nation or another.
-
Yes. And all Colonies reverted back to the African people. So why do people quote only Zimbabwe as an example on why Africans shouldn't manage their lands?
-
Because Zimbabwe was a recent failure, one that those of us from SADCC countries experienced first hand. We don't want to repeat that in SA
-
Zimbabwe failed not only because of dictatorship but sanctions imposed by Western superpowers. We cannot underestimate the impact of sanctions on that country. So taking lands from immigrants is not the reason it failed or dictatorship but?????????

Why are people bring up Zimbabwe for? To totally different countries.
-
Zim is a case study of the same operation to be done in South Africa
-
Ireland can also be a case study, they got their land back from Britain
-
Ireland also didn't experience international sanctions that prevented them from getting loans from international banks, which would have greatly affected the success of the land transfer.
