SOUTH Africa’s parliament has voted in favour of a motion that will begin the process of amending the country’s Constitution to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation.
The motion was brought by Julius Malema, leader of the radical Marxist opposition party the Economic Freedom Fighters, and passed overwhelmingly by 241 votes to 83 against. The only parties who did not support the motion were the Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus, Cope and the African Christian Democratic Party.
It was amended but supported by the ruling African National Congress and new president Cyril Ramaphosa, who made land expropriation a key pillar of his policy platform after taking over from ousted PM Jacob Zuma earlier this month.

Me too. I’m sure the white farmers won’t get a thing if they try to sell either. People will wait it out until the government steals it from them and then get a sweetheart deal.
Burn it to the ground.
They’re communists. They’ll just label the anticommunist black people who bought it collaborators, kill them and take it anyway. Might delay things a bit, but the end result will be the same.
They can NOT take all of their money nor possessions out of that nation, there are laws against doing that!
It is almost impossible to get a visa to leave.
And once they DO get a visa, just WHERE do you imagine that they are going to go? Here? FAT CHANCE!
The UK? ONLY IF YOU HAVE AND CAN PROVE THAT YOU HAVE BRIT ANCESTORS AND NOW, NOT EVEN THAT CAN HELP ALL THAT MUCH!
Australia? THAT NATION HAS CLAMP;ED DOWN ON HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY'RE LETTING IN.
Canada, perchance? SEE ABOVE FOR UK!
China, Japan, Italy, France? LOL
And go where, with no visa and little money?
I said we were a decade or two behind South Africa.
I’ve seen enough movement over the last few years to know we’re not 40 years from this. Look at our universities. Look at the racial hatred there. Look at the disenfranchisement there already.
Whites in our state and federal government positions are already siding against members of their own race.
Look at California. Look at Sacramento. Look at the refusal by Democrats right now to enforce our federal laws from Congress. Look at the (types of) foreign nationals they are trying to swarm this nation with. Those are military age single men, and for the most party they want nothing to do with Christianity.
I don’t honestly think it have to wait until Whites are less than 50%. Nobody’s waiting for that right now.
You get it.
The Congressional black carcass (yes, carcass) will approve and envision likewise here with the help of obama, rev. wright, and farrakhan. ACLU, NAACP, SPLC, CAIR will have their backs. The children of the corn from Broward county won't understand what they have done, and still blame it on the NRA.
Remember that this was the constitution that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was claiming was superior to the US Constitution, and that the Egyptians ought to use it as a model for their new constitution when the Muslim Brotherhood took over?
Confiscating property by race, that’s what the germans did to the Jews just before the holocaust.
If you are white in south Africa get out now or they will kill you.
OTOH...unlike the vast majority of posters on this site, I actually know about RSA...it's history and it's very frightening today. Also unlike anyone here, I have extended family there and reason to worry about them right now.
It'll take far longer to get to that point here, if it ever does, for many reason which you don't understand nor know about, but which I do know and understand.
Also, what you're either forgetting or don't know, is the fact that the ANC was started, built up, and led b stinking WHITE Commies, long before the blacks took over and in point of fact, it was a majority of only one tribe, the Xhosa, who attained the power and leadership of the ANC until Zuma and now he's gone and an Xhosa back in the seat of power.
And what was the very first thing that these blacks did, when they felt strong enough? THEY KILLED ALL OF THE WHITES WHO HAD TRAINED AND LED THEM!
The dynamics here are altogether very different. Ergo, it'll take far longer, no matter what you imagine, to happen here, IF it ever does.
Racial fascism-what a great description.
That is an excellent idea! We should tell our congresscritters to get legislation started. DJT would sign this in a heartbeat.
After 18 years of that, things are showing the first hints of turning around. Mugabe was finally ousted a few months ago, after years of economic collapse (because of him). So far they've actually returned one farm to an original owner: https://www.news24.com/Africa/Zimbabwe/a-seized-zimbabwe-farm-is-returned-but-uncertainty-reigns-20180301
I wish that you were wrong.
Unfortunately, everything you have written is exactly on target.
We should do whatever we can to ameliorate conditions for the White minority in South Africa. We (particularly Jimmy Carter and the Democrats) are partly responsible for their fate. Our politicians lied to them and the world.
Everything that is happening was predicted and is happening much as it was predicted.
Yet the world wide “Progressives” keep denying the obvious. They are willing to do it until the last White African in Africa is dead, and Africa is returned to constant tribal wars, disease, and starvation. And most Black Africans with them.
Nopardons, I appreciate that you have family in SA. I wish them well. I understand where you are coming from. What you fail to grasp is that very pattern is taking place here.
Whites are told to shut up on campuses across the nation. The professors and faculty are buying into it. White professors are already being shamed into resigning. BLM, and ANTIFA are but two manifestations of all this off campus.
The media buys in. Our elected officials ALREADY buy in.
The reason it won’t take as long here, is that they have run their little game in SA, and have learned how to do it.
Tell me who is going to stand up for us, or against these racists? The media? The universities? Our elected leaders? The courts?
I don’t see a one of these entities that will protect Whites in this nation. The courts are the best bet, but we’ve already seen where they are headed. Trump can’t do one thing without them trying to nullify his actions.
Imagine when we have a Lefty again. They’ll do whatever the sam hell they want.
I’m old enough to remember that South Africa has nukes. Think about that.
They are becoming a dispossessed people. You go where you can,even if it might mean living in a crate on a cargo ship. You just go or they will die terrible deaths in South Africa.
It seems Africans are determined to restore Africa to the pristine paradise it was before Eurporeans brought their their curse on it. That curse being quality education, high yield farming, clean water, quality housing, antibiotics and modern medical care, etc. Don’t get me wrong, the colonizers were brutal and treated the natives horribly. But like slavery in the USA, that era is long over. What’s there now is opportunity to build on the good that was also brought but alas, they seem determined to unwind it. They’ll probably be back to eating grubs within a generation or two.
