land reform

[murdock]

listening to the news tonight...foreigners buying out land in SA at 3 times the rate of the goverment??? statement by some goverment official.

i wonder who is buying up the land if this is a true statement?

Hello velly preezed to meet you I am your new neighbor!

China?

[wynn]

Yep! farmland.

[desA]

Next thing they'll be in the gubmunt.

[Dave A]

They already own chunks of those in gubberment - why else did SA refuse a visa to the Dalai Lama?

...and food availability is a growing issue. A pretty shrewd investment, I reckon.

Chinese colonisation methodology:

1. Buy up land;
2. Infiltrate & control business;
3. Buy local gubmunt;
4. Send in settlers (colonise);
5. Second-generation settlers enter politics;
6. Political power rises;
7. Take over power - rename to Chinese colony with 'special rights'.

They have been doing this for years around Asia. Thailand is a defacto colony of China, with 80% of the country's wealth in the hands of the Chinese ethnic minority (10% of the population). They own all the major businesses.

Just like all those European countries did it a century or more ago

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

China Policy

Who do you think owns (controls) 48% of USA (business) economy, 56% of UK economy and 19% of Aussie economy. Have you bought any products from any of these countries lately? Have a look where the parts were made!

China has been (almost) the only country with a growing economy in the last coupla years.

Bang on the mark

Agricultural unions said on Sunday they were caught off guard by news government was considering declaring all productive land a national asset.

It was one of two proposals contained in the Department of Land Reform’s Strategic Plan presented to parliamentarians last week.

wouldn't it be nice if they took over the govamant ?

Grace Mugabe style: http://www.ipocafrica.org/index.php?...news&Itemid=82 "Pay and conditions for workers at the dairy are meagre. A 25-year-old worker, with a child to care for, said she could not afford to buy the milk at $1 (62p) a litre."

Or locally: It's every scumbag's dream. First you take the land, pay a quarter of its value if anything, then you sell it to a foreign company. Then even later you force these companies to sell you back a majority stake. "Firms worth more than $500,000 (£332,000) run by non-indigenous people have five years to sell a 51% stake, upon the threat of jail sentences. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8542966.stm

Or simply you could just take it back for being unproductive from the new black owners. "Land reform minister Gugile Nkwinti warned the land might be repossessed if the farms continued to fail." http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives..._africa_bl.php
