Most land to go to blacks
CITIZEN REPORTER
JOHANNESBURG – Government will not rest until most of the land is in the hands of black owners.
This is according to Minister of Agriculture and Land Affairs Lulu Xingwana, who was reacting to recent parliamentary questions.
“Land reform remains a constitutional mandate,” she said.
“Once all the restitution claims have been settled and the redistribution target of 30% has been met, there will still be a need to improve on the ratio of 70% of agricultural land owned by whites and 30% by blacks, until land ownership in the country reflects its demographics in terms of race and gender.”
There might also be a need to examine the extent to which land is equitably distributed to address the needs of the most needy – irrespective of race, she said.
“In addition, the Department of Land Affairs will have to continue to ensure the security of tenure of land rights, especially with regard to the rights of persons or communities living on commercial farmland and communal areas in the former homelands and South African Development Trust areas.
But DA spokesman on land affairs, Maans Nel, believes the Minister’s calculations are “not a true reflection of reality”.
“The Minister forgets that 18 million hectares of land are already owned by black people in South Africa,” he said yesterday.
“This land is owned communally in the former homelands, as well as by the South African Development Trust.
“If the 30% target is reached by 2014, thereby placing 25 million hectares of land in the hands of black owners, the correct total percentages will be that 43% of land will be owned by black people, while 57% will be in white hands.”
“It is furthermore worrying that government’s land reform attempts do not necessarily focus on enhancing the productive capacity of the land.
“Food security is currently ensured by our commercial farmers and land reform should never be carried out in a manner that compromises that security,” he said.
He also warned that hampered food production would firstly harm the most vulnerable of South Africans, including those whom land reform was aimed at empowering.

We all see where this going. Soon they'll be confiscating the last of the guns. Crime is sky-high and getting higher. Rhetoric is violent, anti-white and genocide looms. Do we just sit on our hands and let them kill us, and our families? I say no.
We know what we want. First a whites-only homeland with no blacks in it. But do we just abandon the rest of our country and the property and the people who can't or won't move to the homeland? I say no.
Let us get the idea of Democracy out of our heads. Forget about it. If the government keeps order, punishes crime and otherwise keeps its snout out my business, who needs the vote? Really, a white military could guarantee a just constitution and do nothing else. That would work.
No perks, no jobs-for-pals, no goodies to hand out. No welfare, no AA, no BEE, no bullshit. Swear the military to kill any chancers.
Who the fuck are you talking to asshole?

To the hard white men who are ready to fight; to the working-class rooinek plumber and mechanic and builder, to the Afrikaner civil servant and policeman. To the proud, strong Boer op sy plaas, to the hard middle-age men with military service, to the large masses of dispossessed unemployed and angry. To the young men passionate with patriotism and the love of their country and their people and their nation. To the few whose higher education has not severed their balls. To the hunters, to the adventurers, to the rugby-players, to the okes who are not scared.
To all those who will survive, and are ready to give it all in the attempt.
