Closed UK denounce South African motion to seize white owned land without compensation.

Closed on

On the 27th of February the South African National Assembly passed a motion brought by the EFF leader MP Mr Julius Malema to have their Constitution amended to intensify land redistribution though the introduction of “expropriation of land without compensation”. This move targets only white farmers.

The problem of correcting this now without compensation is unfair. Families have owned and bought this land for generations. The current occupants are not guilty of stealing land. If South Africa goes ahead with this it is not only a violation of occupants human rights but will severely damage the South African economy. Britain should speak out against this.
