Oh no it creates a database! Maybe just replace the bizarre "bias registry" they created to track legal speech that the government thinks might offend somebody. A sex offender database actually helps to keep people safe from predators. Their speech registry is just a tool for future political retaliation based on unverified allegations of offensive words.

@JuiceTebogo @lemmelime @Finnthehuman80 @Julius_S_Malema Oh wait, has there been a terrible industrial accident? If Malema is now disabled, I sincerely apologize for my insensitive pointing to his past arms. We should start a fund to get him new prosthetic arms immediately!

@TYCHO219 @unusual_whales When's the last time you purchased a house? Look up the monthly payment on your current house. Or any house you'd consider moving into. Then look at the median household income. Or the starting salary at your current employer.

@JuiceTebogo @lemmelime @Finnthehuman80 @Julius_S_Malema You have been misinformed, my friend, he clearly has greater than the average number of arms as seen in this picture!

@christo_konig @uys_matthys @SAPresidentZA @RenaldoGouws Why would they grant people ownership when they can keep the land and profit indefinitely from rent payments that they use to buy more land so they can charge more people rent? This government is incredibly corrupt.

Just facts, 90% of the farm land bought or given to black owners under land reform is no longer producing food. Again I'd argue that you'd have the same result with anybody, white, Asian, black, whatever. Most people cannot successfully run a farm. Most people know they cannot run a farm. The South African government attempt to increase the number of black owned farms made no attempt to ensure that the recipients of land were capable of successful farm management.

In some cases, yes. The South African government holds 2.9 million hectares of farmland, leasing some of it out. They are holding it to enrich the government rather than to redistribute to the people for some reason. But the 90% figure is looking at 15 million total hectares, including that 2.9 million hectares, and most of the 15 million hectares was purchased directly by black people. So government malfeasance is a factor affecting 1/5th of the total land farmed by new black farmers, but even where black people have purchased farmland, they usually fail to farm it successfully. The idea that land is what is holding people back from success at farming is just a false bill of goods. Unfortunately, many people believed in this dream and their attempts at farming failed. It is not unique to any racial group, ANYBODY that buys land without also having the culture, work ethic, knowledge, and experience managing a farm is very likely to fail at farming. The difference between black and white people in South Africa today is that white people who are not farmers do not think they can successfully farm. Black people have built a fantasy that if only they had land, they could have what farmers have, and it is tragically ruining many who have an opportunity to acquire land.

@StaxG360 @ori0n7 @tripple_ann @visegrad24 You know Xhosa is linguistically a Bantu language, right?

@casboy101 @RenaldoGouws What do you imagine an uncle is?

@Regoworldwide @SebAequitas @RenaldoGouws Yes, absolutely, because the government is already confiscating land when they just don't want to pay rent for land they're using. Nothing just and equitable about government actions in South Africa, and courts do not enforce the laws as written.

Only 10% of black owned farms do not fail. The country can't eat if the current white owned farms are cut to 10% productivity. Some black people obviously can farm successfully. Most cannot. This is just as true for white people in South Africa. The vast majority of white people in South Africa cannot farm and do not try to farm. It is the same for people anywhere in the world with any albedo. Most people are not capable of managing a successful farm.

They got such absurd numbers by only counting current farms and ignoring the 90% of black owned farms that failed. When a farm failed, it is no longer counted as black owned farmland. A black person owns the land, the government just refuses to count it as black owned farmland unless the black person continues to farm.

You cannot correct injustice with more injustice. And as the 90% farm failure rates demonstrate, you cannot make people economically equal by giving them assets. When people dismantle community property like rail lines, train stations, power transmission lines, etc instead of working together to protect and improve public infrastructure, you cannot make them economically successful by building more power lines and railways. A people cannot become wealthy through taking, only through building. Of course people who build can also steal, and they have in the past. But unless the people today build, stealing will not make them "economically equal." It can only bring them to a fraction of the wealth of whatever people they steal from and no further.

@collenmahl41074 @Whipstick14 @RiebvJanbeeck Why?

@biasseDDD @vusi_mygy @Doorsman007 @Saxon_African I'm not telling anybody what to do. Just giving suggestions that we know from experience would lead to less starvation.

@vusi_mygy @Doorsman007 @Saxon_African When they tried, 90% of the farms failed and are still deteriorating. The total land being actively farmed now is lowest it has been in a century. Get the millions of hectares that have been reappropriated producing before you collapse South African food production altogether!
