The South African government has begun the process of seizing land from white farmers.
Local newspaper City Press reports two game farms in the northern province of Limpopo are the first to be targeted for unilateral seizure after negotiations with the owners to purchase the properties stalled.
While the government says it intends to pay, owners Akkerland Boerdery wanted 200 million rand ($20.8 million) for the land — they're being offered just 20 million rand ($2.08 million).
Akkerland Boerdery obtained an urgent injunction to prevent eviction until a court had ruled on the issue, but the Department of Rural Development and Land Affairs is opposing the application.
"What makes the Akkerland case unique is that they apparently were not given the opportunity to first dispute the claim in court, as the law requires," AgriSA union spokeswoman Annelize Crosby told the paper.
It comes as the South African government pushes ahead with plans to amend the country's constitution to allow for the expropriation of land without compensation.
The seizures are intended to test the ability of the government to take land under existing laws, which the ruling African National Congress has previously stated is allowable if "in the public interest".
Earlier this month, City Press reported the government had drawn up a list of 139 farms it planned to seize "to test out" section 25 of the constitution.
It would be fair to have more non-white people owning land. BUT, ff your Government wishes to address the crude results of History, then your Government must pay FAIR PRICE. The current owners were not involved in whatever happened before. Otherwise it would be reverse-racism.

Send them back to europe. Europoors have no place in afreica.
Jonathan Hill
Guess this is the last place we'd see the UN? Defending mostly White Christian farmers from genocide?
Now all they can do is poison the land and burn the buildings and equipment and fly to Canada for vacation.

Zimbabwe's exiled farmers urged to return home as agricultural industry struggles
The Government is now offering 99-year leases to white farmers, a deal previously reserved for black Zimbabweans.
The resignation of president Robert Mugabe last November and the swearing in of his successor Emmerson Mnangagwa has delivered significant change.
Government officials now admit the campaign of farm invasions that began in 2000 was a mistake.
"Clearly, the formulas deployed then, left a lot of bad feeling. And more importantly, the intellectual property,left our borders,
" Mr Nyabadza said. the intellectual property,left our borders,
Russia and Australia are taking the families with their animals as well. Why isn't the USA taking them? These are productive people not the islamics that are here to live on FREE STUFF.

Sell for pennies and get out now. Don't wait for the machetes. President Trump should declare refugee status immediately, and if necessary station a carrier group offshore to aid in the evacuation. Everyone with half a brain saw this coming, and knows that South Africa is only the first step in the plan. After the exodus: the famine. No worries, Venezuela and Zimbabwe will help support them
this is what zimbabwe did, which resulted in people taking over farms who didn't know anything about farming, then food shortages because of that and runaway inflation of millions of percent. good luck south africa, it was good knowing you.
I must be a dirty racist, I think black africans can't do anything by themselve and without white farmers to grow food they will go wild again and beg Europe for free food like most other african countries. How much am I wrong ?
Adam Lee
Reverse-racism is just racism. Don't use stupid language, or they'll fight you on the terms. Use the term racism , then pull out a fucking dictionary and define it.
Tyler Richardson
1. niggers are lazy 2. Farming is a lot of work 3. ??????????? 4. niggers starving(Have we ever seen niggers starving in Africa before?)
David Nguyen
white people need to leave. dont know why they havn't. if they plan to fight then atleast send your women/children to europe.
Jason Lewis
First they kicked them out for not being niggers then when they need them "Zimbabwe is your home. Come back." Only fools would return.
John Diaz
Next in the news: South Africa pleading for international help to ward off mass starvation. Begs white farmers to come back.
Daniel Price
Finally the real Mandela's Africa. time to pick a new target Bono.
Ayden Ross
The homeland of the Boers ceased to exist back in the 1800s. Where exactly do you want them to go, user???
Cameron Bennett
Because Europe has refused to take them in as has America. 'Straya is the only country sympathetic and they won't be able to accept Afrikaaners/Boers for another half decade at least.

Ethan Gonzalez
No, it wouldn't. They didn't build anything of relevance while they were there for centuries and now they want to steal whitey's shit he built.
Fantastic. Africa, take back all your Muslims and Blacks, too. Done deal.
Aaron Hill
Then send all niggers in Europe back to Africa. We have a deal, everyone wins.
Colton Rivera
They actually want famine ala Holodomor.
It will allow them to starve out whoever doesn't flee and other dissidents, while they'll feed their nigger followers.
Only in the majority of Sub-Saharan countries, where niggers are the niggest. They're too stupid to handle anything more complex than hunter gather lifestyles. Their populations have become artificially inflated thanks to international gibs. They would die off in droves if left to their own devices.
Henry Anderson
If only…
James Parker
3 year heracide on the soil destroy the equipment burn the buildings kill the live stock. Just the kinda red pilled voters the west needs. Move to a white nation and never forget. And remember we can still do this in Europe .
David Morgan
Not the first time this has been done, here are the results:
To hell with any deals, shut them in and let them starve
Samuel Edwards
Not for long, Rae'Bwon, they're gonna starve
Jaxon Price
This will kill off the cotton pickers via mass starvation. I like this idea.
John Foster
Once your starving population starts rioting and looting for food, I hope you look to your governing leaders, and realize who is to blame. Look at their fat bellies, nice cars and palatial houses.
Expropriation without any compensation for a lifetime of work to build a business. Now the ANC did what it was going to do all along with the help of American "progressives" in the name of social "justice" which is just another name for grand theft. The tribes were not in the farm areas first as they were settled by the Dutch East India Company in the early 1600s and by Dutch settlers and German settlers. Now the sham of a shared Nation will fall away like the fraud that it always was intended to be by Mandela and the ANC.
Samuel Jones
Africa it's their home you vapid piece of garbage mutt, you don't just gtfo from your home without fighting unless you are a spic or a negro.
Ryan Stewart
they should have accepted the 2 million but on the other hand they probably wouldn't have been paid anyway
