Tina Joemat-Petterson
South Africa Agriculture Minister Tina Joemat-Petterson has told Die Burger that commercial farmers would have to give up 40% of the value of their farms to Black shareholders under a proposed plan that will replace the current “willing-buyer-willing-seller” program.
Joemat-Petterson said the current pace of land transformation in the farming sector was “slow” and must be increased, or South Africa will be on its way to a situation that would make what went on in Zimbabwe look like a “teddy bear’s picnic.”
In a strongly-worded press release, TAU/SA President Ben Marais, called Joemat-Petterson’s proposal “outrageous and totally unacceptable.”

Representatives from the Famers’ Union were stood up by Joemat-Petterson last week for a pre-scheduled meeting on the issue, Marais noted.
“A demographical study for the Development Bank tabled in 2001 indicates that the state, together with black people, brown people and Asians already own more than 56% of land in South Africa,” Marais added.
“TAU/SA on behalf of its members will oppose this in the national interest, because the minister’s plan is a blueprint for the destruction of food security. This experiment will be as much a failure as the last,” Marais said in his statement.
FF Plus leader Pieter Mulder, who is Joemat-Petterson’s deputy, said he was not aware of the plan, which will be discussed at the ANC‘s national conference in September.

As if you needed any proof that the once powerhouse of Africa is sliding down the drain to basket-case status quicker than Mad Bob Mugarbage could ever manage in Rhodesia.
Have you in the west ever asked yourself where that Nobel Peace prize winning terrorist Mandela is at times likes these? Or do you really still believe the Ministry of Lies’ propaganda that all the land was stolen from indigenous black folk?
Funny how that “stolen land” in the rest of Africa is given back to white farmers to lure them back to famine-ravished black government countries as an attempt to save the starving masses. Or haven’t you thought about it like that?
Let me give you some really good advice. Forget about the MSM whose only intention is lining their own pockets. Come to The Right Perspective, or you might stand here still, twenty years from now, wondering what the hell just happened…

Sounds like a threat to me.
To regard this wretched creature Tina Joemat-Petterson as an “Agriculture Minister” is indeed sad. She is a moronic communist ideologist who is as stupid as she is unsightly!
If this wittiness black thug were an agriculture minister she would not be the failure she apparently is. Where has she shown any knowledge of Agriculture or land management?
Look at the articles below and see where South Africa is heading.
R146m to bail out farmers

Johannesburg – A R146m rescue package to bail out cash-strapped farmers at the Land Bank was announced by Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Tina Joemat-Petterson, the SABC reported on Saturday.
This comes after the Land Bank threatened legal action against more than 500 farmers for failing to repay loans lent to them.
Addressing a National African Farmers Union (Nafu) workshop in Pretoria on Friday night, Joemat-Petterson said the money was not a moratorium on payments but a way to help struggling farmers cope.
Joemat-Petterson clarified that the rescue package was a way to ensure that farmers don't lose their land.

THE government believes South Africa’s woodlands and forests cannot keep up with the demand for timber products. According to the Minister of Agriculture, Forests and Fisheries, Tina Joemat-Petterson, “The demand … has steadily increased in a way that outstrips the supply. The demand is projected to continue to increase in decades to come.”
40%? Thats slightly higher than her IQ.
HAHA we taking Africa back from the leprosy race.
And what is Afrika without Die BoereVolk? One shithole after another. Look at Communist Occupied Rhodesia. Once the “breadbasket of Afrika”, it is now a “basketcase”. 25,000 Shonas were slaughtered by Mugabe, funny how individuals like you conviently forget or ignore that genocide. The Congo? Rapes, mutilation, poverty, A.I.D.S. and oppression. All over the Dark Continent where the White Man has left, interceine tribal warfare has erupted with horrific results. This tribal warfare was stopped under White Administration. Yes, you may “take your continent back”, but you’ll be the loser! You’re welkom to it!
