#1 There are essentially two land issues in South Africa. One concerns the restitution of land seized from black South Africans under apartheid. The other concerns the unequal racial distribution of land overall, including land owned by white farmers.

A false issue supporting a desired outcome.

The problem goes far beyond land and property ownership. Notice how politics, the courts, education, employment, and the military are conveniently not mentioned. Sound at all familiar ?

Once the farms are seized they are redistributed to family members of people in power without regard to farming experience. Food production usually ceases on those farms. With the engineered food shortage on the horizon the most likely forecast is dead people - a lot of them.
