TAU SA’s Executive Committee considers the decision of the National Assembly to amend the Constitution to allow expropriation without compensation, as a mere theft and the commencement of a process of nationalization of land and property.
The government is warned that they should expect many farmers to regard it as a declaration of war.
No one stole land. It has been bought and many mortgages, were and or are still being paid at great expense. And people have worked from sunrise to sunset to pay for the land and to make sure that there is food on the table.
Nobody will just give away the land regardless of the country’s Constitution.
Theft remains theft, even if it is authorized in a constitution.
People who are currently in the process of buying property are already asking the question why transfer duty should still be paid to the state? They are being taxed, just to eventually lose everything.
Similarly, there is a growing feeling among farmers to not keep up with the payment of land tax to third level governments.
TAU SA is also going to lay criminal charges with the police against political leaders who claim that the land has been stolen. In the past, TLU SA has already offered a R100 000 reward for anyone who can prove the land stolen. Nobody came to the fore, but they are still talking about it. Now it’s time that those who claim it must prove it too.
TLU SA, together with all the role players who put South Africa’s future first, will fight this policy, not like the political parties are trying to implement it, clearly for their political survival.
