Give back our land – and don’t pay compensation
land policy of the ruling party that claims to be the oldest political formation in Africa has failed dismally. South Africa’s land is still owned by the minority, 80% by colonialist masters, while millions of black people live in pigsty-like shacks. South Africa can’t be called Azania, land of black people.
It is conveniently forgotten that South Africa’s land was taken through black genocide, and it is a “fool who buys his stolen cattle”. “Willing buyer, willing seller” has failed many people in South Africa, and anyone who still questions the redistribution of land without payment suffers from a pathological colonial mentality.
It is difficult for a white man to understand the clarion call for the expropriation of land without payment, because they do not know the pain of being landless.
We saw it when the ANC negotiated with the National Party before the downfall of apartheid; even after the downfall, white people are not willing to surrender the land that they have stolen.
We are still being led by people who cannot change the land policy that has failed black people. Even a toothless child could understand that the ruling party has failed black people on the issue of land; land is vital, and the ANC was formed to carry out the issue of land that was taken at gunpoint.
Expropriation of land without compensation is the solution to all of this, because without land we are nothing. It is high time South Africans unite to ensure that land is given back to the rightful owners. Our people were brutally assassinated by imperialists for the wealth of their country but we South Africans are not calling for war — through legislation, we can expropriate land without payment for equal distribution.
In South Africa there are many whites who are only “passport citizens” for the privilege of accessing Azania’s riches and business. They owe their allegiance elsewhere, to places such as Canada, Australia, Britain and the United States. They do not worry about the suffering of our people, the landless of the South African people. They have large golf courses while our people are landless. Let us unite, South Africans, and call for expropriation of land without compensation for equal distribution.
Without land, we are not Azanians. We are colonially owned. Land must be given to black people because most people who live in squalid, inhuman settlements fit only for pigs are African. They have fewer resources such as hospitals and clinics.
Yet this is all happening in their own land. How come? When we speak the truth, we are called racist. It can’t be.
It is a fact that South African wealth since 1909 has not translated into decent wages and living conditions for Africans. The dependency mentality of South African leaders on Western countries must end. Africa must be for Africans, and we expropriate land without compensation.
