Expropriation Bill “Shelved”

The Communist-ANC has officially announced its dreaded Land Expropriation Bill will be “shelved” and will not be introduced “until further notice”. This follows earlier reports that the Bill would be withdrawn and re-written to “find a balance between white fears and black aspirations”.

The Agricultural Business Chamber welcomed the announcement. “It is clear that certain legal challenges, specifically with regard to the constitutionality of certain clauses [of the bill], could not be resolved between the legal advisers of the public works department and the parliamentary legal advisers in time,” said the chamber’ s chief executive officer, John Purchase. The Bill had gathered a wide-ranging coalition of opposition, which has vowed to make sure that legalized land theft never takes place in South Africa.

In addition to the constitutional arguments brought about by the Bill, concerns that a Zimbabwe-styled racist land grab, which has thrown the country into utter chaos, would take place in South Africa. An average of two farmers and their workers are killed every week in South Africa, with some 2,400 murders of farmers and their black workers have taken place since 1996. This has led some to believe that there is a silent genocide of Boer taking place in South Africa.
