The Land Question in South Africa by Dr Motsoko Pheko

[@roscobajero]

Powerful and absolutely timely speech. Everyone who desperately needs to here this is no where to be found, busy listening to false narratives by settlers.

[@sophiawharton2424]

This man! Wow! His lecture was a PHD in African studies for all who listened. Don’t know who he is. (I definitely want to now.) Don’t know why he appeared on my feed, but I’m eternally grateful. Thank you!?

[@FireflySA]

This speech is truly a remedy for complete emancipation to the people of the soil, our people♡

Powerful speech son of the stolen land called Azania

[@MegaDiva1999]

This man is the greatest president that this country never had.I wonder where we would have been with this giant at the helm.

[@MrGwara]

This speech also is applicable to Namibia. Why Africa doesn't speak with one voice baffles me.

[@martintumwine507]

Very elaborate speaker.I would ask him the question of common African language What’s his opinion?

[@marcelinocambanda2511]

Ja, why? Me too, it wondere me.

[@nomasontogumede2667]

The land must be restored to its rightful owners.

[@lutherrukira200]

I doubt that there are any of the charterists who would argue this matter so eloquently.

[@ThomsoyaWires-mb3wk]

Loud and clear finishing.greed kills and has killed and also it will always kill humanities.

[@richardsheffield2823]

We must play this in schools and in front our children and understand what Baba is saying.

It makes me weep to listen to this. A further stab in the heart is the fact that many South Africans of black origin are further dividing themselves…stating they are coloureds, not black. 😢

Nothing can be more liberating than quality education. If the foul ANC government stops rolling out RDP's and instead direct those finds towards free tertiary education until honours degree level, South Africa would have paved a smooth way through which it can become one of the richest countries in the world in the shortest time possible. Nevertheless, we want our land back - in totality!!! On that note, the entire FREE STATE province and parts of present-day Afrika Borwa, belongs to Lesotho.

Educated people are threat to ANC existence

This is a beautiful conversation

Why the Thabo Mbeki educational session are taking place only in Gauteng? Why is it not going to other provinces. For example, the Western Cape has UNISA too.

[@seifet.k.afrikano1415]

The essential question, however, remains "how" land reform might be undertaken while maximising the benefits of the existing system of land ownership. Asking probing questions and exposing false assertions is essential before any serious discussion of land reform can begin; in other words, critical questioning and fact-based debunking are imperative.

[@richardsheffield2823]

It's simple: PUT THEM OUT BC THEY ARE NOT UBUNTU

[@SiyabongaMaseko-u1x]

I hold the same view, 🙏❤️!!.

[@siyandantozonkesibiya8139]

Vasco DA Gama saw black Africans in Limpopo in 1495 and he saw that they had gold and iron. Jan van Riebeek knew that but he never found it

[@ayodejia.a771]

Africa in chains!.. still till today.

[@ericnqobilengwenya9460]

Mthwakazi was not also returned to its rightful owners it was given to Mashonaland aka Zimbabwe by British colonial rulers and it was done without our consent and we need to rectify that if it means to go back to war let it be we can't allow our neighbours bully kill us and rule us by the barrel of the gun we need our south Africa our cousins to help us

[@dalidalii9871]

The is no xhosa or zulu Protestant missionaries arrived in South Africa in the 1820s. Their primary goal was to convert Africans to Christianity. For them the Bible was the source of revelation. To give Africans direct access to it, it had to be translated. The problem was there was no written language, so written languages and their geographic reach had to be defined. Consequently, missionaries asked themselves: are the speech forms of the Zulu and Xhosa and of the chiefdoms and clans in between them - such as Mfengu, Thembu, Bhaca, Mpondo, Mpondomise, Hlubi, Cele, Thuli, Qwabe - similar enough to represent a single language into which the Bible can be translated, or do they represent multiple languages? I suggest that the answer to this question changed over time for a host of reasons, perhaps most importantly due to the influence of African interpreters. Missionaries depended on interpreters, who had their own ideas about language. The decision to think of isiZulu and isiXhosa as two separate languages can to some extent be traced back to these interpreters. Education played the crucial role in people identifying with these languages. It involved Africans and non-Africans, as lawmakers, superintendents of education and teachers, promoting isiZulu and isiXhosa as part of “mother tongue” education in various school settings between the middle of the 1800s and the last decade of the 1900s.

Mbeki grew in rural areas he had enough of being a farm boy,he mus not disturb us in our quest of getting back our land.He has a problem of explaining to white handlers why he failed to suppress us

Black Sough Africans,please!!Stop being subjective when it comes to political issues,especially ANC'supporters,if u really want to see the black-majority in South Africa living above poverty-line u first have to be realistic,everyone who understands South Africa and its politics,knows that ANC has indeed sold-out South Africans(Black-Africans),ANC is not a pan-africanistic political party,it only serves a puppetry role to maintain white supremacy,ANC undermines the purpose for which Pan-Africanism was established.

[@MatikiMcunu]

Our land was taken by a stroke of a pen ,why must we buy it back from Mbekis friends, let us use the pen as well

Mbeki is a paper tiger, very weak in reasoning, telling us about a document that he knows no author the Freedom Cheater,this ate politics not commerce

Amazing how, even seemingly educated people, will be riled up when they are told about "free stuff"....

[@adriaanvandermerwe4252]

Thank you - Land question? What land question? Our black people have land - The government has purchased more than 4000 farms which they can't get transferred to their prospective owners because of internal disputes among the intended recipients - Furthermore, there are about 17-million hectares of land in the old "homelands" which the ANC had nationalized when they came into power - In other words, our black people have land - They just don't own it and so they are born in poverty and so they die in poverty - In fact there are more black people living on farmland in South Africa than the entire white and coloured population put together - If all this land was transferred to the black people where they are living in the homelands, they will be richer in land than the majority of white and coloured South Africans - And if they owned their respective plots in the homelands, they would be able to leverage wealth through property ownership and have the capital to send their children to the best universities in the country, but instead they have to sell their labour as domestic workers and petrol attendants - And please bear in mind that none of this land is bonded - And so to resolve the land question in South Africa, all the government has to do is to grant them title of their lands - But no it is much easier for the government to expropriate farmers' land - What is the point in taking a black person who is living as a subsistence farmer in Transkei and putting him on a white farm in the Karroo? How will this make his life any better? Would it not have been better to have given him or her title to the land and a free education for the kids? And as far as affirmative question is concerned - Affirmative action can only work if there are more whites than blacks.

Khoisan, the first occupiers = absolute and sole proprietorship. Full stop. Thank you. Dr. Pheko

[@dbnite1298]

​@@elvinadams4892 the khoisan were left behind when mining took place in southern Africa. The so called bantu migration is only what is the result of the workers that were taken from the south to continue work in the north. Coming back south was the genetic memory hence all tribes will have similar dialects and languages due to the settlers who stayed along the way during both migrations going north and coming back south again otherwise why would both khoisan and nguni have similar clicks on some words and yet say we took from them yet those that did take from them and made them change their mother tongue to afrikaans blame nguni tribes as if khoisan and xhosa tribes never got along. The khoisan brothers and sisters need to redirect the stolen land topic to Cape settlers because people forget that all this history is written by the west. And history didn't start when settlers arrived in SA. There were people down here and khoisan could be said to be the ones that stayed behind and got a chance to preserve the origin that was diluted by those that went north but because of language the clicks and few minor traditions were the only things left to show that we were once one tribe but because of migration some changed others didn't hence why the khoisan remain how they are now yet still have other nguni people looking like khoisan. I wouldn't be surprised If have khoisan DNA in me. It's like moving to foreign countries and coming back with multiracial children who look nothing like their grand parents but are still from the same "source".
