The Whites instituted The Natives' Land Act of 1913, which "prohibited the establishment of new farming operations, sharecropping or cash rentals by blacks outside of the reserves. Now they are against land reform, claiming that black-owned land is unproductive. In 1947, the USA occupation government in Japan instituted land reform that transferred land from 8000 land owners to 3 million landless peasants; those peasants became the backbone of Japan's middle class. Land, like property, can be used as a source of capital.

You should know that land, like everything in life, is suitable for certain uses and not others. Farming land was taken freely from its rightful owners long ago. In many cases people were forcefully moved from their land without any consideration. The land issue cannot be wished aways by just saying that people should farm where they are, even if that land is not suitable for that.

The question is why does the Ngonyama trust own the tribal land in KZN and not the people. Surely the Zulu people should own the land where their house is and where their fields are. The Ngonyama trust did not own the land in the days of Senzagkhona pre Shaka. Then Shaka killed his brother to be king and conquered the tribes in what later became known as Zululand and Natal. The people in Zululand and old Transkei don't own their land now

She was also with Cetshwayo when he lost the battle of Ulundi and Mokabaya was said to be 114 years old then. She committed suicide after the battle of Ulundi. She was also Shaka's military commander for uKhahlamba and she was from the amaHlubi tribe. She was the reason Shake never waged war on the Hlubi people or conquered them.

If you don't know what you are talking about and would rather listen to a White woman who has a hidden agenda it's your problem but, don't come and talk umsuzo . Land restitution in this country is not even at the 25% stage . What people did with their returned land is none of your business. It's theirs. Instead,ask why does this government not do as the apartheid government did and send qualified extension officers from the dept of agriculture to train and advice the land beneficiaries??? Why doesn't the Landbank give these farmers low interest farm loans like the settlers that you love soooooo much did to/for White people???

[@dk.650]

Just making up stories is not the real truth. Land restitution started before 1994, fact as our family farm was expropriated the National party. And all the surroundings farms. Payment was 1/8 of real value, legal fees resulted in debt on our side. So walked away in debt. All these farms are non functional today. Helen knows exactly what is going on. Anc are sitting on land, much has benn claimed by high level cadres. Facts. Not you drivel.

[@BS-kl9yf]

I agree. We blacks refuse to use common sense. In Europe and US people don't fight for land because it is not easy to make it productive. Africans kill each other for land, get it, then die in poverty waiting for donors. As long as educated Africans remain fewer than the illiterate who use emotions, this African curse will keep us fighting for the next century.

because she tells a lot of untruths. Eg colonialism killed in the millions in africa. They colonial empires make stalin look like a saint

[@Augustus65]

@dogsand77 The same can be said for African Empires attacking each other, committing genocide & ethnic cleansing and selling each other into slavery. The same can also be said for the millions who have died through warring Empires in Asia, the Middle East and the Americas all throughout history. That is the nature of Empires, as that is the human condition. Anywhere you have groups of humans with overlapping interests, you will find conflict. The difference though is that Communist Empires actively seek to commit genocide. Its a core policy of any communist govt. And its always against their own countrymen (those who don't agree with them). Furthermore, the nature of Empire is to build, improve and expand (it would be too expensive to not do this as the troops, govt officials, supplies etc to the colony need to be paid for), that is why most Empires leave behind ready-made countries that only need a good govt to take over (which, in Africa, has never happened). Whereas Communist Empires, again as a policy and required by Marx, seek to destroy or confiscate everything and make the populace 100% enslaved to the govt.

[@BayleyDon]

The land issue is a legitimate historical cause of disempowerment and resentment. However, redistribution of agricultural land could not create wealth and jobs on any useful scale now. Back when whites grabbed the land in past centuries , farming was the biggest part of the economy, here and everywhere. But times have changed. Agriculture is no longer a significant share of the economy -- in SA in 2024, farming accounts for only 2.4% of GDP. Any benefits of land reform would pale in comparison with effective industrial policies, or reliable electricity, or small-business-friendly regulatory reform, or any number of other modern measures.

Honestly speaking, as black people we must really start thinking economically if we want to uplift ourselves. When we get the land, we need to create jobs for the community in order to decrease unemployment. This thing of wanting to own land just because it was land of your forefathers and you're not making something out of it should stop because it is not taking us anywhere.

[@sukumanibantu1520]

Was is it Cameroon or Congo or Angola? Oh, it doesn´t matter, we just made it up to justify colonialism, even if the facts are contrary. And by the way, Khoisan exist in different parts of Africa, esp. South and East (Tanzania), just like "Bantus" and yes, they are also intermixed with each other, whereby many Khoisans intergrated into the "Bantu" tribes/nations just like anywhere else in the world similarly. While we are at it, what is your business in Africa? What ever we do with each other as africans good or bad, its´OUR business not yours Mlungu. Or do Africans determine what Asians, Arabs, (native) Americans, Oborigines in AUS, Europeans do with their continent, land? The latter fought, steal, kill (still do see Ukraine/Russia, Balkan Wars of the nineties, Nothern Irland bombings, sessessions and detentions in Spain/Catalonya where Barcelona etc)? It´s their continent, place, business. Period. Or should Chinese by the virtue of their growing strength take over Europe by force and say you Birith are Anglo-Saxonians from Saxony in Germany, and must leave England and Germans, you are Barbarians and must leave Germany towards Caucasia/Iran bc you are arians etc? Europe for Europeans. Asia for Asians. Africa for AFrica. Simple. And you come here, have the audacity to discuss on the matter of the southern tip of Africa. If I were you, I´ll humble myself ASAP or pack and back to Europe (please not Australia, NZ, Canada, USA) to try to terrorise the natives there with the same white suprematist BS. Update, Europeans don´t really embrace you either, even for them white South Africans are to crass, most have moved on (the Dutch King has apologized for colonialism and everything that happend under its reign when you guys (mostly poor Europeans) left for the colonies and fabricated superiority. One more last thing, when southern Europe was colonised by the North Africans/Arabs aka Moors from 711 to 1492 the rest of Europe finally came together and fought back to take back their land from the Arab colonizers.. Europe never accepted, rightfully so, the Arabs on their land, no matter how long they ruled and what good things they brought in there (go to Andalucia, Spain and see the beautiful architecture, astronomy/math science brought by the Moors. Europe wasn´t not impressed and eventually kicked them out. some Moors/Arabs stays under the rule of the Europeans as a minority up to this day, without political, commercial, or any power whatsoever. They accepted their place and, as individuals, may do well or not, but they know they are Arabs not Europeans just like any communities who follow common sense. Which leaves you with one option: humble yourself, you are at the end of the colonial road. India, China/Asia, Middle Eeast, and Africa make 80 soon 90% of world population. It should all be about humans and humanity, but you decided otherwise and we and the rest of the world are wising up accordingly. I think we are done here. We should act like Britian and Europe today for those who do not want it otherwise.

There are 2 points that are always overlooked in the question of land: 1) There was no South Africa when Europeans arrived, only small & scattered tribes that - while nomadic in lifestyle- remained confined to certain areas (Eg Khoi in the Cape, Xhosa in EC, Zulu in KZN etc) therefore a large part of the land wasn't actually owned by anyone to begin with, especially in the interior. The concept of land ownership and title deeds is a European concept. Obviously a lot of land was stolen by Europeans, but how will we prove what land was stolen? 2) Land restitution means ALL victims of land theft need justice/restitution. Therefore, how will we determine which black tribe stole what land from another black tribe? And will we then confiscate that land from the black "colonizer" to restore it to the black "claimant" 300 years later?Example: The Zulus stole massive amounts of land from the Xhosas and other tribes. It's easy to blame the "white man" for everything but if you really cared about justice and restitution you would want it to apply to everybody.

That would be 10s of millions of South Africans. *Natives are under no obligation to be culturally static or labels in a book.* "khoisan" is a 20th century sloppy ahistoric abstraction. San refers to foragers or hunters or for ancestral pygmies millennia ago. Khoi was a Euro broad generic reference to *Cape pastoralists.* A way of life reference. The native South African has blended pygmy and proto-agrarians (proto-Bantu) millennia ago. This blend is who Europeans found, so talking about migration hypotheses of the ancestors is of no relevance. The pastoralists (khoi/khwe) they found in the Cape were a blend of pygmy & ancient proto-agrarian. That's literally what a native South African is *today* with millennia of heritage. (Usually found banded together under a handful of HOUSES that became umbrellas in colonial times like the then minor ascendant Xhosa house.) *Again, Natives are under no obligation to be culturally static or labels in a book.* *That's not how human generational offspring or lineage works.*
