[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 912781, member: 40658"] The thing is we don't know what the plan will be. And it's not confiscation, it's expropriation. If I would hazard a guess then I'd say that there are close to a million white farmers. But the issue of land isn't just about their land, and here lies the issue. Nearly 48% of the land is owned by the government. Some of that land is leased to farmers, and some of it is unused. Now the problem is that the Government and the EFF are trying to make it a race issue just like everything else, especially with the 2019 elections coming up. They don't tell their supporters that we have the land to help you, but we don't want to give it you. The Government is failing in not providing housing, but they have the land to provide housing. So now they are looking at the agriculture setting. How this will work is anyone's guess, because I still want to know because we have a law called the Alienation of Land Act. This Act states that agricultural land cannot be tranferred to more than one owner without the consent of the minister of agriculture. So basically a farm can only have one owner (whether it's a person/company/trust). So either the minister will have a lot more work to do in future or it will just not be feasible. The other issue the costs involved in the transfer of property. Conveyancers (specialist attorneys who attends to property transfers) have fees to be paid BEFORE the transfer is completed, and this includes the Mortgage Bond cancellation costs. It's all fine and dandy to talk up this big game, but to put a plan in motion and actually following it through is another thing. [/QUOTE]
