"We want the land back!"

Well this is a phrase we have been saying and hearing about for way too long!As South Africans we know that during Apartheid,so much land that belonged to our ancestors and elders was taken away from us by the white people,it is only right that we get it back but now the question is, are we going about this the right way?
Not so long ago,Julius Malema leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters adresses the land expropriation issue.Malema says that he is no tcalling for a war but there will be no compensation for land expropriation.We all know that most of the land is now owned by white peoople and they have built on it for their own operations and benefits and the land being taken back means losing all the progress and money earned from the property,especially without compensation.
In my opinion,I know that we have to get back what is rightfully ours but if this were the other way around we also would not agree to not receiving compensation and I know that one way or another this will lead to violence be it Black on black violence or black on white violence but if this is not done the right way things will end badly.

Even though Mr Malema is someone who always had a thing with whites but i think he is right on this one, Our forefathers need this so they can rest peacefully.
ReplyDeleteWooooh Nkosi yam! This is one topic that I'm still not sure to which side I belong to. Land expropriation without compensation may sound like the right and fair thing to do, of course it means blacks get back "their" land. . But this benefits the economy in no absolutely no way. Instead, the economy will take a thorough beating and a turn for the worse... When all this backfires, the same Julius Malema and squad who are currently taking the glory of fighting of it, will go mute once the messy aftermath of this whole thing starts to really show. .
