The ANC has plans for land reform and wanted thirty percent of all agricultural land in the hands of blacks by the end of 2015, but now the governing party has signed a new law for land reform. The ANC have tried to introduce laws that would allow them to seize land by giving notice to the expropriated owner. This attempt was unsuccessful, and there was the intention to nationalize land. Another tactic the ANC government is contemplating it to limit the amount of land individual farmers can own. Now Zuma is about to sign the new law, and this will entitle the government to take back land as they please.
The ANC government is exploring land reform policies based on the same principle of Zimbabwe. A land reform legislation that crippled the farming community and plunged the country into chaos while there was a total lack of interest from the world.
Millions of productive acres of farmland have been transferred to black ownership, and now much of this land lies barren. Once fertile maize fields now grow weeds. Fruit orchards are dying, fruit is rotting on the branches. Machinery is rusting, and irrigation pipes are stolen. The derelict farm sheds have been stripped of roofing. Windbreak trees hacked down and roads filled with potholes. This is the new South Africa.
Afrikaans people have been destroyed. The history of the Afrikaner heroes has been replaced by the renaming of streets, towns and public squares with the names of anti-apartheid leaders. Since Mandela refused to consider a Boer Homeland, millions of whites have left the country, and the Boer farmers are trapped. Their farms if converted to cash would mean nothing, and if they left, they would pay hefty taxes that would leave them destitute. Mandela primarily kept the whites around to pay taxes to keep his dictatorship party going and at the same time denied the white minority meaningful representation.
Winnie Mandela, the ex-wife of Nelson Mandela, complained that black poverty has not improved since the ANC takeover. It can only get worse. Blacks are turning to their usual practice of radical outright confiscation.
How right Winnie was when she made the statement that blacks are turning to their usual practice. South Africa is considered one of the most dangerous countries to raise children. The crime statistics are shocking, and corruption is the way forward. South Africa is a failed state, and the history of how drastic the situation has become is nothing compared to what will happen if nothing is done to stop the carnage.
Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) political party, has gained popularity among rural blacks with his promise of free land distribution and nationalization of mines and banks. Is he a ranting lunatic that will engulf South Africa into a deeper abyss of horror. He might be the “Man of the moment” for many poor destitute blacks who are mesmerized when he delivers the entitlement speech. Malema will cause South Africa to self-destruct faster than the ANC.
While the polygamous State President Jacob Zuma rules, spreads corruption quicker than the HIV and causes the disparity between blacks and whites. The equality that smacks of racism reversed. A president who thinks the HIV can be washed away with a shower. Will South Africa ever have a president to equal or better the corrupt governance of Zuma?
Something to ponder. Zuma was the head of the ANC Intelligence Service (DIS) in the struggle. He was commander during the time of the struggle. The sordid tale of more than 900 people losing their lives in the Quattro camps in Angola has never been aired.
Mandela is squarely responsible for all of this. From the beginning of his dream of a united South African state dominated by black voters to the small number of whites who fund the government by paying large amounts of taxes and get nothing in return. Today the tax rate of individuals just amounts to almost fifty percent of their earnings and the service delivery is in shambles. There are no benefits for the taxpayer in the form of the massive taxing system. While under apartheid, whites received an average nine percent return on their taxes in the form of satisfactory service deliveries, this was apparently sufficient. Today education, health sectors, and infrastructure have fallen into a degrading non-working system. The justice and security services are rife with corruption, and collaboration to continue escalating into a lawless community is evident.
Mandela is dead, and the misplaced hero worship is just that. Mandela exploited the Afrikaner under his illustrious scheming guise, murder in the name of democracy and genocide with a smile. A sudden onset of anti-violence against whites is apparent, and he is not alive to see his destructive work undone when the Boers reclaim their right to freedom. They might take up arms just as Mandela’s MK operation did in 1961 when they vowed to continue the fight lost to the Boers in 1836. Without Mandela South Africa is the same, there is still the ongoing violent racial conflict. It not only the majority who agitates the minority groups but the conflict between the African brothers that will ultimate be the tipping point for South Africa. We must not forget it was Mandela who opened the borders allowed the influx of foreigners into the country.
As we remember the past, it is not only the majority who have suffered; there are millions of other ethnic groups who have been drawn into the racial conflict through terrorism. South Africa is a beautiful country, stunning landscapes, unimaginable beauty captured among natural wonders. Cascading waterfalls, impressive mountain gorges, and exotic white sandy beaches, rich in mineral resources and all is torn down by the ruling ANC government.
