Gugile Nkwinti, minister of rural development and land reform, said the constitution should be amended and other legislation should be implemented so that land can be taken away without compensation.

Naive analysts try and appease the farming community with the fiction that the ANC does not need a two-thirds majority to amend the constitution. When it comes to land, they will certainly be able to count on the support of the EFF, PAC and perhaps even of the IFP, while the DA party’s position, especially in light of its coalition with the EFF in key municipalities, is uncertain.

Nkwinti made the statement during the debate on the state of the nation, and after the ANC said, they would exert pressure on the government to accelerate land reform.

Here the DA, in fact, supports them. Jacques Julius of the party accused the ANC of not reaching a single target set in respect of land reform. He claimed that only 8% of agricultural land has been transferred to black South Africans by 2016, which is less than the 30% target that the ANC hoped to achieve. This means that the DA is in favor of the process, despite the evidence that 95% of the project failures, where farms have become unproductive and food security has been weakened.
