South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said his ruling ANC party will push ahead with plans to amend the constitution to allow for the expropriation of land without compensation.
The divel will be in the details. This could be a move to pull support away from Malema. Of course, the Africans who should be getting deeds to their land are in the tribal homelands where it looks unlikely.
"Sunnyways" said The significance of this move cannot be assessed yet. It all depends on what land is targeted.
The ANC leadership has made clear all year long that all white owned farms will eventually be seized and handed over to the friends and family of the ANC leadership poor black people.
Just like in Zimbabwe is what multiple people in the ANC have said. And then they fully intend to follow up with a campaign of ethnic cleansing to oust whites from SA.
And now that the western nations seem to be ignoring the issue then it may well occur that a pogrom or a will happen in South Africa.
At this stage Trump definitely should go out to appease all the white supremacists and do exactly what Australia offered a few months back - asylum, refugee status, and eventual citizenship for all South African whites who need/want to get the hell out of there as soon as they can. Seriously, we all know what's going to eventually happen there so there's no more time to dawdle on any of this.
I don’t see this as any different from any ither group of Africans seizing wealth and power from each other. Funny people wouldn’t care about this if it was a redistribution from one group of black Africans to another, but since it’s from white to black its “genocide”.
South Africa has always been an undemocratic and oppressive “shithole country” where 91% of the population lived in oppressive squalor and mandatory servitude to the ruling 9%. South Africa may very well go the way of Zimbabwe but only thing that might change here is the skin colour of some of the 9% as the wealthy whites emigrate and local bigmen fill their places, but life for most of the population will continue to be the same.

Maybe. We’ll have to see. South Africans remain uncertain about the real significance of this move and whether it will mean a Mugabe-style disaster or not. That’s certainly possible.

And why wouldn't we offer refuge for these people ?
South Africa's ruling ANC party causes Twitter storm after post appearing to call white people 'murderers'... as they line up 139 farms to be seized by the government in coming weeks
ANC's tweet on white farmers said it was a 'mistake to consult murderers' Party deleted tweet and said it was a quote from a member of the public Change in constitution will allow government to seize and re-distribute land ANC plan on seizing 139 farms without compensation 'in coming weeks' Much of the most productive land in South Africa is still owned by white people
It comes as 139 farms are being lined up to be seized by the government in the next few weeks, after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced he would be pushing ahead with the expropriation of privately owned land without compensation.
South Africa 'draws up a list of almost 200 farms it will seize from white farmers' as ANC head says land should be taken from those with over 12,000 hectares WITHOUT compensation
Lobby group AfriForum claimed to have a list of 195 farms earmarked for seizure But South Africa's government denied the claim saying the document was false The rand fell after the ruling ANC's chair said owners should have land seized
Millions will starve,
the economy will collapse,
just like Zimbabwe.
They fully deserve everything that will happen.
Looks like they are going ahead with it.

Exactly, RSA will go from being a powerhouse nation to becoming an a..hole dump, like Zimbabwe, it will be very sad to watch.
