THE UNFORSEEN CONSEQUENCES OF CONFISCATION !

GOOGLE- BVIANS EDGE -FOR EXCITING NEWS!
---------------------------------------------------
The confiscation of land with out compensation is abhorrent in the Western Civilized World, and rightly so!
It would seem as an extreme left-wing with in the African National Congress and sister party the EFF have exploited a weakness in the change over of power to Ramaphosa the new President as a sop for their votes that helped topple the former president Zuma.
The new president has done much in his short time in power to reverse the looting of the state coffers which has brought us to one notch above junk status. Moodys seems willing to give us the benefit of the doubt for at least the next six months and has even upgraded us to stable from likely down grade! 
Ramaphosa latest move by replacing the revenue services head who was helping Zuma with state capture for his own ends.The revenue will recall former well educated persons and their independence will be restored.
One of the unforseen consequences of the land grab legislation which has not come into law yet and has to go thru two more stages where it is being vigouresly  opposed by opposition,is the largely unreported illegal occupation of so-called land farmers are letting lie fallow so as to preserve the ecology, by bus loads of obese, extreme  party supporters.Six police or so might turn up,then beat a hasty retreat when threatened.
Its not as if there is no land available as roughly three thousand farms were sold to the state at reasonable prices when the new constitution was adopted in 1994. They now are mostly in the hands of Zuma officials or lying dormant.
If it were not so sad it would be funny as these paid idle land invaders dwindle  noticably as the harsh conditions of being on farms without amenities is obviously not for the feint-hearted! Startling to see half built shacks completely only a a handful to claim squatter rights.Costs farmers a great deal to legally remove these.A great deal of intimindation towards the farmers,plus the locust mentality apply, they really do not want to farm,but are interested in making a quick buck !
According to these left-wingers,an unproved 70% of producing farms is still in "white hands  ! " In this number they include Europeans,Asians 
 and what they call sell-out blacks and companies belonging to all races.It would seem any body that bought the arable lands and cattle farming areas some times from the present government and are successful and pays 90% of the farming area tax are being targeted. If their move succeeds there will be starvation as witnessed in our neighboring country Zimbabwe.
