I'm terrified of this act. I think this is a disaster in the making. We might end up like Zimbabwe. This is not the way to go. It will only create more animosity and division in SA.

People work hard and spend a lot of money for they land they own. Now the government just want to take it away without compensation. Bond repayments will just stop. How will the Banks in SA survive this? The impact it will have on foreign investment in SA will be catastrophic.

Its kind of obvious...
If you want land buy what you can afford... thats what we all had to do...nothing comes for free...hard work and saving towards a goal, is the only way. Self worth makes you free...not hand outs.

I have a problem of who is going to benefit from the process of land expropriation.
Land is vast and can be shared equally to every citizen of this country.

It would not be just, equitable or in public interest for nil compensation to be paid where land is expropriated.

Yes I do

We the black South Africans have been marginalised in terms of kand distribution by the whites, we have big business ideas that we r scare to unfold because we dont have land but have to buy it very expencuve instead. We r also squeezed in locations called concentration camps by the colonizers which is the whites. And we will never have oeace in the country for as long as we deny the rightful owners with this land that was forcesfully taken away from them, ofcourse is not all whites involved. But 99% of whites in South Africa r happy with the current status. There will never be collaboration in the country until the wealth of the country is equally shared amongs all.

This is the only way the inequity can be resolved.

I support the Draft Expropriation Bill with some reservation. This matter needs to be thought through and from all angles. I think the ultimate objective should be how do we create a situation in which every South african is able to have a piece of land enough for, starting from small scale farming and above. Land that is lying fallow for an x amount of years must be taken back by the state. White people who have lands or farms that are generating food should be discouraged to sell those farms, however, there should be some standardization in terms of rate of prices of farms or land. Inflating the prices of land will make things more difficult. This bill is not universally bad neither is it universally good. There are many dynamics to the land question that need to be considered.

The exception would be where the land area is huge and it is just lying fallow. Otherwise it's just a travesty of justice and is an insult to the rule of law. It's a violation of the rule of law in any democracy and flies in the face of decency and fair play. It would be an act of a totalitarian state dictator. Should be brought before the World Court at the Hague.

This will destroy foreign investment in South Africa. It is basically theft.

Transperancy needed

Martin

I sell land for a living. All this talk is destroying my living. The gov don't have funds to buy land so they want to steal it now. This is not creating an investment scenario. We have an economy that is failing us and more than half the population do not contribute towards tax. So it is still the same some of us carry the rest. In is an unfair burden. Equal rights and justice.

My suggestion are work farms for poor. Properly managed will give us jobs

Piet

This is unethical, should land be required in the public interests then it must be paid for, which is the practice in any country where law and order prevails.
That is assuming the owner wishes to sell.
This is the first step in the manner in which communists operate and is not in the South African interests.
Land expropriation should firstly be looked at in the "old homelands" where all indications are that the occupiers of this land have left their land and moved into the cities for RDP housing
and "jobs".
I am of the opinion that these absentee land owner's have become our squatter problem in all cities.

Cleopatra

Yes I do

Whites have a big portion of the land, while blacks were thrown into matchbox houses in the townships. This will also help farm labourers to at least own a portion of the land that they are working and living on. Jan Van Riebeeck did not come to Afrika with land on his ships and the land problem issue is a direct result of the effects of Colloinisation. Most of those farms were inherited and were passed on from generation to generation by the first colonizers of South Afrika. Mayibuye iAfrika.

johan

No I do not

If the people of RSA stole any land then the banks and all estate agencies should be charged and forced to pay back all the monies ! How can u get a bond on stolen property? This is the biggest lie that the government came out with!! If you want the land ,you pay for it!!This will cause a war in this country if they continue with this!! It will not be good for the country!!!!!

Robin

No I do not

The land in South Africa was bought from the locals for reasonable prices and has been improved and must be bought back, instead of been stolen. You cannot create wealth by stealing from others.

Pule

Yes I do

Whites have always had large land in their possessions and blacks always cramped In smaller pieces of land.That need to change according to largest population.

Swazi

Yes I do

Change it, but this must be based on case by case

ROSE

Take all government land and buildings not used there's plenty. this must be given free. Once a person has a plot they start out small with a small loan.The plan must be so they can add to home as they can afford to.

Joey

Land expropriation without compensation is just another step towards systematically state takeover by other countries.
Aka
China
Nigeria
Zimbabwe
Mozambique
Cuba
etc...

Gizelle

The land in South Africa was bought from the natives for reasonable rates, buy back the land instead of just taking it back like thieves.
