TRASH.....This is a bad idea and the first critic of the idea mentioned in the article hit the nail on the head. You guys are falling for the okee doke while these politicians look out for themselves. This is a move that will only make people say " yeah fukk them cacs!" While the people at the top make out like bandits and we forget that they don't know what the fukk they're doing when it comes to government. Zimbabwe is a favorite racist talking point and South Africa is running the risk of being the same thing, a country whose standard of infrastructure and living crumbled after white people left.
Obviously I'm not in favor of keeping things the way they are, but I am in favor of empowering black people there. Offer loan forgiveness for black students studying stem degrees and putting those degrees to work to build the infrastructure and develop important technology. Offer loans with low interest for black people who are starting their own businesses. These kind of steps will give black people an advantage so they can build generational wealth and buy these lands off the white people who only got them through unfair methods to begin with. People who want the land and have proven that they have drive and have succeeded in other projects will be the ones who buy the land and who can make it even more successful. I want situations where black men and women are owners and the white people are working for them knowing that they bought the land instead of just got it from the government. Or at least since Malema calls himself a Marxist, the land ownership should be divided so that the workers who have been there for more than 5 years get a piece of stock or legal ownership in the place they work and new company policies are voted in democratically.
This is clearly a ruse by people who want to just hang on to power. Only a fool tries to motivate black people by their hatred of white people only. The reason Mandela was so successful was because he was more concerned with black empowerment than giving people a vision of white suffering. White people will naturally be at a disadvantage when you tweak the system and make it fair. The ANC has kept fukking up by not doing substantial work to alleviate black poverty. The "fukk y'all I got mine" mentality is strong even in Africa. Don't trust a billionaire to talk to you about equality and making things fair. Their existence by definition is only possible due to unfairness. It makes no sense that a man can have more money than he and his descendants can spend in 5 lifetimes while SOWETO is still a thing. Your billions should come AFTER black people are no longer second class citizens in their own damn country.
